BHM 2025, Day 26: Hazeline Knox Post-Desegregation era Davidson College employee #BlackHistoryMonth

So today is publication day for @hngreen.bsky.social! So go buy “unforgettable sacrifice” as you won’t regret it!

I am so excited for this event! Can't wait to discuss the book at one of my favorite DC bookstores.

Another interesting book fact. I originally had the content of the Porch Lessons within the traditional chapters to the dismay of family and early readers. When my editor suggested that I make this content its own sections, I easily wrote them. Trust your editor and early readers.

Another interesting thing about the book. It has photos, including one of me with my grandmother and brother. In it, you will see the porch that shaped the first four chapters. The other ones either come from my own photo collection or specific archives.

Some interesting facts about Unforgettable Sacrifice. I organized the book around porches of my maternal, adopted, and paternal kinkeepers. With the exception of the Richmond chapter, I can tell you whose porch or porches where I heard some of the family and community histories covered in the book.

Happy book publication day! Writing and researching Unforgettable Sacrifice was a journey. I am forever grateful to my family and community kinskeepers who inspired the book and ensured that I narrated their past with accuracy, dignity, and respect. 1/3

In the 1860s, African Americans escaped to NC's Outer Banks barrier islands. Hotel De Afrique opened as a place for people to stay, but the site was marred with flooding, violence and other problems, according to historians. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-... #tellemwhatwedid ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #BlackHistoryMonth

I recently met members of a Franklin County, VA group who creatively challenged the CSA monument by commemorating the local USCT experience in a new monument. The local PBS profiled them. Excited to see the final monument. youtu.be/n1dcBgzeKfg?...
