Time:
5:30 PM - 7:00 PM CDT
Event Description:
The NewSouth Bookstore is offsite at the Civil Rights Memorial Center on October 18 at 5:30pm, partnering on a talk with Fergus Bordewich, author of Klan War: Ulysses S. Grant and the Battle to Save Reconstruction, which releases just a week earlier.
Klan War is a stunning history of the first national anti-terrorist campaign waged on American soil, when Ulysses S. Grant wielded the power of the federal government to dismantle the KKK. The author's compelling narrative — by turns, frightening, bracing, and timely — will remind readers that today’s battle between white supremacy and human justice has a long history.
Fergus Bordewich is the author of eight previous works of nonfiction, many award-winning, which include Bound for Cannan: The Epic Story of the Underground Railroad, America’s First Civil Rights Movement, a favorite among customers at our bookstore. Contact Jessala White if you cannot join us for the program and wish to reserve a signed copy of Klan War.
