Lawrence Jackson
My Father’s Name: A Black Virginia Family after the Civil War
On January 31, 2013, Lawrence Jackson delivered a Banner Lecture entitled “My Father’s Name: A Black Virginia Family after the Civil War.” Part history and part detective story, My Father’s Name is a moving narrative full of the mixture of anguish and fulfillment that accompanies any search into the history of slavery. In this intimate study of a black Virginia family and neighborhood, Lawrence Jackson vividly reconstructs moments in the lives of his father’s grandfather, Edward Jackson, and great-grandfather, Granville Hundley. In the process the author brings to life stories of the people of Pittsylvania County during and immediately after slavery. Lawrence Jackson teaches in the English department at Emory University.
