Description
The South is a region of contradictions warmth and violence, faith and hell-fire, friendliness and bigotry. Growing up, I lived in the South and away from it. But to my Southern family, home was Little Rock. With its store of family memories, Arkansas defined home for me, too. But embracing and claiming it as my own is prickly business. Home has closets of skeletons that are anything but comforting: the Lost Cause1, Jim Crow, the Ku Klux Klan, lynchings.
