Overview

Our Ancestors Are Still Talking: Black History in Georgia is a powerful, accessible journey through Georgia's past-told through the voices, experiences, and resistance of Black people whose stories are too often ignored, softened, or erased. This book traces Georgia's history from enslavement and Reconstruction through Jim Crow, racial terror, and the long fight for civil rights, grounding major events in real people, real places, and real consequences. Readers will learn how laws, violence, education, land ownership, and community organizing shaped daily Black life-and how ordinary people used courage, culture, faith, and strategy to survive and push forward. Written for both young readers and adults, Our Ancestors Are Still Talking blends historical facts with storytelling that feels personal and urgent. It challenges sanitized narratives and invites readers to listen closely to what the past is still teaching us today. This is not just a history book-it is a conversation across generations, reminding us that the echoes of our ancestors live in our schools, streets, families, and struggles. Perfect for classrooms, families, community groups, and anyone seeking a deeper, more honest understanding of Black history in Georgia, this book empowers readers to remember, question, and carry the truth forward.
