Book Synopsis
Detailing the buildup of Back-of-Town businesses, lynchings in the early 1900s, and national and state legislation repressing Black progress, author Amy Lemco contextualizes the regional atmosphere Dr Gilbert Mason - a resilient civic leader, humanitarian, and lover of the water - and his family encountered in 1955.

Trade Review
The courageous witness of Dr. Mason and those who worked with him deserves to be more widely known, and Lemco tells the story well." - Joseph Reiff, author of Born of Conviction: White Methodists and Mississippi’s Closed Society
