Our Town by Cynthia Carr delves into the haunting legacy of the 1930 Marion, Indiana lynching—a tragedy that still casts a long shadow over the town and America’s conscience. Combining investigative journalism, personal memoir, and historical narrative, Carr explores the complexities of race relations, the hidden ties many white Americans share with this history, and her own family's involvement. Her journey uncovers pain, guilt, hope, and the echoes of white supremacy, offering an unflinching look at the realities of America's past and present. This compelling former library book is in very good condition—a rare and powerful read for those seeking to understand the threads of race and memory woven through our nation.
