Reviews
"A remarkable achievement. With precision and care, Green has reconstructed Mary Lumpkin's life--and so many others--from a historical record that has sought to erase the contributions of Black women at every turn."-- Beth Macy, New York Times-bestselling author of Dopesick, "Rescued from the horror of slavery and the neglect of history, Mary Lumpkin's life story in The Devil's Half Acre is one of tenacity, endurance, courage, and achievement."-- Margot Lee Shetterly, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Hidden Figures, "Every Black woman must read the phenomenal book The Devil's Half Acre . It is our story--a true story, an erased story--of sisterhood and resistance. Mary Lumpkin, who rose from slavery, rape and white supremacy-limited education to lay the foundation of one of America's first Historically Black Colleges, should be remembered alongside Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Rosa Parks."-- Jodie Patterson, author of The Bold World and Chair of The Human Rights Campaign Foundation Board, " The Devil's Half Acre tells an essential piece of history that deserves to be read by everyone."-- Nicole Ari Parker, actor, producer, and parent, "If we the people of the United States truly believe in forming a more perfect union, the unadulterated reality of systemic racism must be told. The Devil's Half Acre is an excellent book for readers looking to understand what life was like for enslaved African Americans like Mary Lumpkin, and to understand the impact that white supremacy has had on America as a whole."-- Dr. Johnnetta Betsch Cole, renowned educator, museum professional and diversity and inclusion consultant, "Rescued from the horror of slavery and the neglect of history, Mary Lumpkin's life story in The Devil's Half Acre is one of tenacity, endurance, courage, and achievement." -- Margot Lee Shetterly, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Hidden Figures, "This is the kind of reparative history we need. Truly healing work. My own Ancestors endured this terrible place that was almost forgotten. Its story must be told, and here we have a brilliant beginning." -- Michael W. Twitty, James Beard Award-winning author of The Cooking Gene, "Award-winning journalist Kristen Green's meticulously researched book The Devil's Half Acre is an extraordinary and unique portrait of the institution of slavery. Focused on the hidden, compelling life of enslaved Mary Lumpkin, this is a must-read for anyone committed to understanding the still-invisible aspects of slavery. It is also a story of resistance and the enduring legacies of survivor's contributions and even triumphs."-- Beverly Guy-Sheftall, director of the Women's Research & Resource Center at Spelman College, and co-author of Gender Talk
