Lanterns At Our Feet

Focusing on the resilience of five families from Amite County, Mississippi, the narrative explores the harsh realities of slavery that led to the fragmentation and dehumanization of their lives. Despite these challenges, the Butts, Bradleys, Walkers, Robinsons, and Kenersons forged a legacy of strength and perseverance. Their experiences highlight the broader African American struggle for dignity and justice, offering inspiration and insight into the historical context of their community and the enduring spirit of those who fought for their rights.
