Fayetteville Public Library will host UA Press Author Spotlight, a virtual meeting featuring Brian K. Mitchell and Guy Lancaster discussing Blood in Their Eyes: The Elaine Massacre of 1919, on Wednesday, September 30 at 6pm.
The first edition of Grif Stockley’s Blood in Their Eyes, published in 2001, brought renewed attention to the Elaine Massacre and sparked valuable new studies on racial violence and exploitation in Arkansas and beyond. With contributions from fellow historians Brian K. Mitchell and Guy Lancaster, this revised edition draws from recently uncovered source material and explores in greater detail the actions of the mob, the lives of those who survived the massacre, and the regime of fear and terror that prevailed under Jim Crow.
