In celebration of Black History Month, Southern Cultures permanently has dedicated a new section of our website to all of our essays and features from the last
decade on AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE. This material includes interviews with many famous figures (and lesser known ones, too), as well as material which explores many aspects of the experiences of African Americans inside and outside the South.
In addition, we’ve also been presenting featured content on our homepage to commemorate African American history: an essay from Timothy B. Tyson, author of Blood Done Sign My Name, who reveals why Martin Luther King’s message endures and what he means to
the South and the nation.
To read Tim Tyson’s “Martin Luther King and the Southern Dream of Freedom,” please visit:
Thank you.
