SynopsisThe Rev. A.S.J. Allen was a respected African American community leader in Alachua County, Florida. In 1904, he was killed by a white neighbor over a property border dispute. In the Jim Crow era, the white neighbor faced no consequences for his actions. Growing up, Alonzo Felder heard just a few stories about his great-grandfather A.S.J. Allen. As an adult, Felder's research into the life and death of A.S.J. Allen became a journey of self-discovery. In this book the author shares his process, providing guidance to others seeking to discover the stories of their ancestors. -- Dr. Paul Ortiz Professor of History, University of Florida Director, Samuel Proctor Oral History Program Author, An African American and Latinx History of the United States, and Emancipation Betrayed: The Hidden History of Black Organizing and White Violence in Florida from Reconstruction to the Bloody Election of 1920
