Natchez, Mississippi, once had more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in America, and its wealth was built on slavery and cotton. Today it has the greatest concentration of antebellum mansions in the South, and a culture full of unexpected contradictions. Prominent White families dress up in hoopskirts and Confederate uniforms for ritual celebrations of the Old South, yet Natchez is also progressive enough to elect a gay Black man for mayor with 91 percent of the vote.

One of she strangest books I’ve read.
Revisado: 12-09-21
I have studied and read many books on or related to diversity, equity, inclusion, books on racism, bias, and race relations; this book comes at it from such a strange angle. While it reminds us of America’s racist past and the enslavement of people it also gives detailed stories of people line Prince. Most interesting is how the history still impacts contemporary Natchez and it’s inhabitants; how a town founded on slavery reconciles it’s history. The book reads like fiction with a cast of dramatic characters but they are all real as are their strange traditions rooted in our ugly past.
