5.0 out of 5 stars An Arkansas tragedy!, August 25, 2003

This review is from: BLOOD IN THEIR EYES: THE ELAINE RACE MASSACRES OF 1919 (Hardcover)
I couldn't believe it was true! I was mesmerized by this bit of dark (no pun intended) history in our state. I must have been aware that such events happened in the South, but I was aghast at the horror of it. Mr. Stockley, thank you for opening my eyes to reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Important Book with a Very Important Message, May 9, 2009
This review is from: BLOOD IN THEIR EYES: THE ELAINE RACE MASSACRES OF 1919 (Paperback)
What most distinguishes this book is its relentless honesty. The author pulls no punches and makes no excuses for this disgraceful episode in our history, as many are wont to do. Our Attorney General, Eric Holder, said recently that we have been a nation of cowards where race is concerned. He was right. Grif's account is bold, truthful, and shows the integrity of the man. We need more researchers like him, and we as a nation should support his efforts to encourage us to face who we have been, and to become better.
