Hitting Home

Growing up in Tallahassee, FL I was only minutely aware of the city's history in segregation. Many schools that are now predominantly black schools were once all white schools. However beyond that, I saw my hometown as separated from slavery and its brutality. While at the memorial, I found the list for my county. While seeing that there was indeed a history of racial violence, What was most surprising to me was that these last names are still prominent families in the area.
