How can educators confront the history of lynching and racial violence to foster deeper understanding and justice?

Content Warning by Rhonda Jones explores African American efforts to heal from enslavement, racial terror, and repression. Many educators struggle to address race and racism in the classroom. With 177 documented lynchings in North Carolina (1880s-1950s), racial violence had lasting effects on families and communities. Using archives and primary sources, this book chronicles counter-stories and resistance movements that fueled African American anti-lynching, desegregation, and restorative justice efforts, emphasizing history’s relevance today.

Ideal for educators, historians, policymakers, and students in Black studies, seeking a deeper understanding of racial violence, historical trauma, and resistance movements in American history.

Rhonda Jones specializes in trauma-informed archives, cultural heritage, and memory, focusing on racial violence and digital access.
