    Thanks to the many who came to Red Summer talk in Augusta

    Thanks to the 60+ people who came out to St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in South Augusta Thursday evening, Aug. 25, to hear me tell the story of the Red Summer. The crowd was great and so was the discussion. And the books all sold! Special thanks to Judith Ruffin, wife of the late Judge Jack Ruffin, for organizing the event. Lots of Ruffin relatives were in the audience.
