The silent shore : the lynching of Matthew Williams and the politics of racism in the free state

Charles L. Chavis (Author)
"This author tells the history of the lynching of a Black man on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Matthew Williams was lynched in Salisbury, Maryland, in 1931. To a greater extent than thousands of others, Williams's lynching influenced local, state, and national history, and yet its history remains largely unknown. This is a work of forensic reconstruction by the author"-- Provided by publisher
