DAMAGED HERITAGE and J. Chester Johnson on Times Square Jumbotron Dec. 21st

In the midst of the last weekend preceding the seasonal holidays, the Times Square Jumbotron in New York City will, on Saturday, December 21st, display and give attention, on its three-story high screen, to the revelatory book, DAMAGED HERITAGE by J. Chester Johnson. The book contrasts the terrible violence surrounding the largely unknown Elaine Race Massacre along the Mississippi River Delta in 1919 with the remarkably poignant, racial reconciliation that occurred a hundred years later between a black woman and a white man, descendants of opposite sides of the Massacre.
