The neighborhood, with its stately mansions and top-tier schools, was simply not the kind of place where women were gunned down in cold blood in broad daylight. How many socialites had enemies so dangerous they would be murdered by a hitman pretending to deliver roses on an early winter morning? Lita was an intelligent, accomplished, stunning Black woman from a respected Atlanta family. Her interracial marriage to white millionaire Jim Sullivan, who hailed from working-class Boston, was a newsworthy occurrence in 1970s Georgia. For a while, the couple made the marriage work, but it wasn't long before Jim's roving eye and controlling nature put Lita on edge. When he bought a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida (without telling her), the façade of their life together began to crumble. Finally, after a decade of marriage, she loaded her belongings in a U-Haul and never looked back. But as the legal battle over the divorce raged and Jim's financial outlook grew precarious, he had a chance encounter with a long-haul trucker, a smooth-talking ex-con who said he could "take care" of Jim's problem . . ."--

In A Devil Went Down to Georgia, award-winning writer Deb Miller Landau details the shocking events that followed Lita's murder in 1987, including the surprising lack of evidence, racial bias in the justice system, and the international manhunt for Lita's killer. Full of twists and turns, legal battles, and the McClinton family's unrelenting dedication to justice, Landau's rigorous investigation is the first complete account of this tragic American crime."--

Before freedom, when I just can remember : twenty-seven oral histories of former South Carolina slaves / by Hurmence, Belinda.(CARDINAL)145704;
Introduction -- Violet Guntharpe -- Brawley Gilmore -- Hester Hunter -- Ben Horry -- Jake McLeod -- Adeline Jackson -- Adele Frost -- Milton Marshall -- Alexander Scaife -- Zack Herndon -- Adeline Johnson -- Rebecca Jane Grant -- Elijah Green -- Amy Perry -- Willis Williams -- Sam Polite -- Fannie Griffin -- Silvia Chisolm -- Prince Smith -- George Briggs -- Adeline Grey -- Sarah Poindexter -- Peter Clifton -- Isiah Jeffries -- Robert Toatley -- Sylvia Cannon -- Savilla Burrell.During the 1930s, the Federal Writers' Project undertook the task of locating former slaves and recording their oral histories. The more than ten thousand pages of interviews with over two thousand former slaves were filed in the Library of Congress, where they were known to scholars and historians but few others. From this storehouse of information, Belinda Hurmence has chosen twenty-seven narratives from the twelve hundred type-written pages of interviews with 284 former South Carolina slaves. The result is a moving, eloquent, and often surprising firsthand account of the lost years of slavery and first years of freedom. The former slaves describe the clothes they wore, the food they ate, the houses they lived in, the work they did, and the treatment they received. They give their impressions of Yankee soldiers, the Klan, their masters, and their newfound freedom. In Before Freedom, When I Just Can Remember, Hurmence makes accessible to the casual reader what many scholars and historians have long known to be a great source of our nation's history. Best Books for Senior High Readers. This is a collection of actual accounts of the lives and living conditions of 27 ex-slaves.
