For many victims and witnesses of the assaults, rapes, murders, nightrides, lynchings, and other bloody acts that followed, the suffering this violence engendered was at once too painful to put into words yet too horrible to suppress. In this evocative and deeply moving history, Kidada Williams examines African Americans' testimonies about racial violence. By using both oral and print culture to testify about violence, victims and witnesses hoped they would be able to graphically disseminate enough knowledge about its occurrence and inspire Americans to take action to end it. In the process of testifying, these people created a vernacular history of the violence they endured and witnessed, as well as the identities that grew from the experience of violence. This history fostered an oppositional consciousness to racial violence that inspired African Americans to form and support campaigns to end violence. The resulting crusades against racial violence became one of the political training grounds for the civil rights movement"--Provided by publisher. 000453010 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000453010 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xHistory$$y1863-1877. 000453010 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xHistory$$y1877-1964. 000453010 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xViolence against$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000453010 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xViolence against$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000453010 650_0 $$aLynching$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000453010 650_0 $$aRacism$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000453010 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000453010 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWilliams, Kidada E.$$tThey left great marks on me.$$dNew York : New York University Press, c2012$$z9780814795354$$w(DLC) 2011039379$$w(OCoLC)733232567 000453010 8520_ $$bacq 000453010 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000453010 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=436503$$zOnline Access 000453010 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:453010$$pGLOBAL_SET 000453010 980__ $$aEBOOK 000453010 980__ $$aBIB 000453010 982__ $$aEbook 000453010 983__ $$aOnline 000453010 994__ $$a92$$bISE 000453010 999__ $$z634885906811231508
