Beneath the Swamp's Shadow - Kelvin Ray Oxendine - Lulu.com

''In 1958 Robeson County, North Carolina, the swamps run deep -- and so does the bloodline of resistance. When the Ku Klux Klan targets the Lumbee and Tuscarora people with threats of violence and intimidation, Cecil Lowery, a quiet young man burdened by doubt, finds himself at a crossroads. The memory of his ancestor, Henry Berry Lowrie -- the legendary revolutionist who defied white supremacy during the Reconstruction era -- calls to him from the shadows of the past. Guided by the wisdom of his father, grandfather, and great grandmother and strengthened by the stories of his people, Cecil begins to realize that the same fire that once burned in Henry Berry Lowrie still lives within him. Inspired by true events, Beneath the Swamp's Shadow is a powerful historical fiction novel that weaves generational memory, Indigenous pride, and the enduring legacy of Henry Berry Lowrie into a timeless tale of unity and defiance. This is more than a story. It's a stand.''--
