Blood Done Sign My Name: A True Story"Daddy and Roger and 'em shot 'em a nigger." Those words, whispered to ten year old Tim Tyson by a playmate, heralded a ? restorm that would forever transform the tobacco market town of Oxford, North Carolina.

"Daddy and Roger and 'em shot 'em a nigger." Those words, whispered to ten-year-old Tim Tyson by a playmate, heralded a ?restorm that would forever transform the tobacco market town of Oxford, North Carolina.

On May 11, 1970, Henry Marrow, a twenty-three-year-old black veteran, walked into a crossroads store owned by Robert Teel and came out running. Teel and two of his sons chased and beat Marrow, then killed him in public as he pleaded for his life.

Like many small Southern towns, Oxford had barely been touched by the civil rights movement. But in the wake of the killing, young African Americans took to the streets. While lawyers battled in the courthouse, the Klan raged in the shadows and black Vietnam veterans torched the town's tobacco warehouses. Tyson's father, the pastor of Oxford's all-white Methodist church, urged the town to come to terms with its bloody racial history. In the end, however, the Tyson family was forced to move away.

Tim Tyson's riveting narrative of that fiery summer brings gritty blues truth, soaring gospel vision, and down-home humor to a shocking episode of our history. Like To Kill a Mockingbird, Blood Done Sign My Name is a classic portrait of an unforgettable time and place.

On sale purchase and glad I waited.
Size: 33W x 30L, Color: Stone
I'm 6'1 186lbs size 33x30, I don't workout but for whatever reason my calves pose a problem with a few brands and styles of pants. These feel wonderful and the color is awesome. Minus the tight area in the calves these are perfect for summer in Oklahoma. I usually wear these with light brown or gray penny loafers no socks or some suede Allen Edmonds chelsea boots and a white vneck tshirt. I got these on an extremely good sale so that helps. I wouldn't pay full price for whatever that's worth.
