I always say February 8, 1968 was the important day of my life although nearly 20 years before I was born. On Feb. 8, 1968, 28 students were injured and three were killed — most shot in the back by the state police while involved in a peaceful protest in Orangeburg, South Carolina. One of the by-standers, was my dad, Cleveland Sellers. He was shot anf arrested for inciting a riot and sentenced to a year in prison, he was the only person to do time. Injustice left mothers without their sons, and the pages of this country’s history stained red with blood. History books call this the Orangeburg Massacre. Henry Smith. Samuel Hammond. Delano Middleton. Never Forget. #TheMoment

I just received a starred review from @kirkus_reviews —here’s an excerpt: An impassioned account of how Black Americans’ civil rights gains continue to unravel…Sellers moves easily among his family history and subtopics including the resilience of the Black church, the disproportionate toll of Covid-19 on Black communities, and the persistence of institutional racism alongside the pernicious role of “racial capitalist[s]” like Tucker Carlson, whose rhetoric directly influenced the race-motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, in 2022. “Spanning the Civil War and the civil rights eras,” writes Sellers, “this country has experienced two reconstructions followed by a white supremacist pushback against each,” and the author links this to post-Obama voter suppression. “The supporters of white supremacist philosophy—whether they be Donald Trump, Jesse Watters, Megyn Kelly, Mitch McConnell, or others—want to maintain all the power,” he writes. In impressively concise fashion, Sellers makes a host of pertinent arguments crisply and effectively, disturbingly documenting the overtness of efforts to maintain structural racism across the country. Pre-order Today!
