by Frank Beacham (Author)
Lost stories from the modern South. Discover the hip young black and white dancers that defied segregation after World War II and gave birth to Carolina "beach music" and the shag. Visit Charlie's Place, the defiant interracial nightclub in Myrtle Beach where jazz met "race"music, and gutsy clubgoers risked their lives to take the dance floor. Witness the Ku Klux Klan's violent attempt in 1950 to stop the rise of the "forbidden" music that would soon become known as rhythm & blues. Revisit the Orangeburg Massacre and find out why, after more than half a century, an aggressive effort continues to distort the role of former Gov. Robert McNair and his police forces in the 1968 killing of three black college students in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Join the author's surprising journey to his South Carolina hometown of Honea Path when he discovers that his own grandfather organized a group of gunmen that killed seven men and wounded 30 others at the local cotton mill in 1934.
