"..Williams offers a revelatory and, in some cases, minute-by-minute record of nighttime raids and #KuKluxKlan strikes. And she deploys cutting-edge scholarship on trauma to consider how the effects of these attacks would linger for decades--indeed, generations--to come."

"[D]rawing on her book, #ISawDeathComing, Professor #KidadaEWilliams explores African Americans’ accounts of the other war, the one white southerners waged on Black families. Survivors’ searing recollections of the war after the Civil War bring to light the ways that the revolutionary experiment of #Reconstruction did not just fail, as so many of us have been taught, but was violently overthrown and abandoned."
