Patrick Phillips Quotes

Faint Traces Of Other Black Churches Are Tucked Away In Handwritten Ledgers At The State Archives At Morrow; In The Collections At The University Of Georgia In Athens; Even In The Basement Of The Forsyth Courthouse, Where A Cardboard Box Atop A Metal Filing Cabinet Still Holds Deeds For The Land On Which Black Residents Once Founded Mt. Fair, Shakerag, And Stoney Point - About Which Nothing Is Known But Names And Approximate Locations. All That Can Be Said For Certain Is That, Again And Again In The Fall Of 1912, White Men Sloshed Gasoline And Kerosene Onto The Benches And Wooden Floors Of Such Rooms, Then Backed Out Into The Dark, Tossing Lit Matches As They Went. All Over The County, Beneath The Ground On Which Black Churches Stood, The Soil Is Rich With Ashes.
