Whitewashing the South is a powerful exploration of how white southerners recall the civil rights era, overlooking many of the realities of the day to present a sunnier version of the past. Filled with dynamic interview excerpts, author Kristen Lavelle uncovers uncomfortable memories of our racial past while treating her interview subjects with sensitivity.
