Trade Paperback. Condition: New. Support Small Business by buying this book! Family owned bookshop in Steubenville, Ohio: BookMarx Bookstore. New and unread! Introduction written by our very own Ohio Valley journalist: Bill Steigerwad! About the book: In 1948 most white people in the North had no idea how unjust and unequal daily life was for the 10 million African Americans living in the South. But that suddenly changed after Ray Sprigle, a nationally famous white journalist from Pittsburgh, went undercover and lived as a black man in the Jim Crow South for a month. With the blessing of the NAACP and its dynamic executive secretary Walter White, Sprigle was escorted through the Southâs parallel black society by John Wesley Dobbs, a historic black civil rights pioneer and political leader from Atlanta. With Dobbs' guidance and protection, Sprigle pretended to be a light-skinned NAACP field researcher from Pittsburgh. He met with sharecroppers, local black leaders, and families of lynching victims. He visited ramshackle black schools and slept at the homes of prosperous black farmers and doctors. Sprigle wrote a powerful, vivid and angry 21-part series for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette describing 'the iniquitous Jim Crow system' that he saw and experienced. Reprinted here word for word, it was syndicated coast to coast in white newspapers -- but nowhere in the South. It was carried into the Land of Jim Crow only by the Pittsburgh Courier, the countryâs largest black newspaper. Sprigle's undercover journalism woke up the white North to the inequality and injustice of Jim Crow, enraged the white South, and ignited the first debate in the national media about ending Americaâs system of apartheid. His pioneering journalism came six years before Brown v. Board of Education, seven years before the murder of Emmett Till and thirteen years before John Howard Griffinâs similar experiment became the bestseller 'Black Like Me.' What Sprigle saw made him ashamed to be an American. What he wrote about the oppressive and unequal reality blacks endured each day under Jim Crow is still powerful today.…

Satisfaction Guaranteed. In the early twentieth century, two wealthy white sisters, cousins to a North Carolina governor, wrote identical wills that left their substantial homeplace to a black man and his daughter. Maggie Ross, whose sister Sallie died in 1909, was the richest woman in Union County, North Carolina. Upon Maggie's death in 1920, her will bequeathed her estate to Bob Ross - who had grown up in the sisters' household - and his daughter Mittie Bell Houston. Mittie had also grown up with the well-to-do women, who had shown their affection for her by building a house for her and her husband. This house, along with eight hundred acres, hundreds of dollars in cash, and two of the white family's three gold watches went to Bob Ross and Houston. As soon as the contents of the will became known, more than one hundred of Maggie Ross's scandalized cousins sued to break the will, claiming that its bequest to black people proved that Maggie Ross was mentally incompetent. Revealing the details of this case and of the lives of the people involved in it, Gene Stowe presents a story that sheds light on and complicates our understanding of the Jim Crow South. Stowe's account of this famous court battle shows how specific individuals, both white and black, labored against the status quo of white superiority and ultimately won. An evocative portrait of an entire generation's sins, Inherit the Land: Jim Crow Meets Miss Maggie's Will hints at the possibility for color-blind justice in small-town North Carolina.
