About the Book
|
- Richard Bailey, author of Neither Carpetbaggers nor Scalawags: Black Officeholders During the Reconstruction of Alabama 1867-1878
- “Foster J. Dickson has pulled together every possible resource to afford Bernard Whitehurst Jr. the sense of justice surrounding his death that he never received in life. His powerful yet objective profile of an otherwise enigmatic personality signals an urgent need to change the perception of African American life.”
- Alabama Writers' Forum
- “Closed Ranks is a powerful account that captures the wrongful history of the murder of Bernard Whitehurst Jr. and a brilliant presentation of the institutional corruption of the South at that time. An engaging and fascinating read.”
