My great-great-great grandfather could vote in 1867.

My father, born in 1927, couldn’t vote until 1965.

That contradiction is part of what led me to write #NurembergMississippi.

The terrifying part of history isn’t the villains.

It’s how many ordinary people participate without realizing it.

No conspiracy.

No villains.

Just procedure.

I just received an email from the Library of Congress notifying me they have assigned a LCCN to my book. It was the last thing I was waiting for to put the final details on the book.

Look for another update next week about presale orders.

In #NurembergMississippi, the question isn’t who broke the law.

It’s who followed it.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom declared and freedom delivered are not always the same thing. My novel, Nuremberg, Mississippi, asks a similar question: What happens when the law is followed, but justice is denied? #Juneteenth #NurembergMississippi #CivilRights #HistoryMatters

The Nuremberg Trials established that individuals are responsible for unjust systems.

But the American South perfected something more subtle:

a system where responsibility disappears.

Do systems fail because of evil people…

or because good people follow rules too faithfully?

Everyone in this town did their job.

That’s why the damage was permanent.
