morningside:1979年格林斯伯勒大屠杀和一个美国城市灵魂的斗争 [有声书]
An unflinching look at a shocking racial tragedy that divides a Southern city—comparable to the recent events in Charlottesville—and the activists who, in their tireless fight for justice, refuse to give up on America’s promised ideals, and pursue racial reconciliation with hope that their fractured city can heal. On November 3, 1979, as activist Nelson Johnson assembled people for a march adjacent to Morningside Homes in Greensboro, North Carolina, gunshots rang out. A caravan of Klansmen and Neo-Nazis sped from the scene, leaving behind five dead. Known as the “Greensboro Massacre,” the event and its aftermath encapsulate the racial conflict, economic anxiety, clash of ideologies, and toxic mix of corruption and conspiracy that roiled American democracy then—and threaten it today. In 88 seconds, one Southern city shattered over irreconcilable visions of America’s past and future. When the shooters are acquitted in the courts, Reverend Johnson, his wife Joyce, and their allies, at odds with the police and the Greensboro establishment, sought alternative forms of justice. As the Johnsons rebuilt their lives after 1979, they found inspiration in Nelson Mandela’s post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Martin Luther King Jr’s concept of Beloved Community and insist that only by facing history’s hardest truths can healing come to the city they refuse to give up on. This intimate, deeply researched, and heart-stopping account draws upon survivor interviews, court documents, and the files from one of the largest investigations in FBI history. The persistent mysteries of the case touch deep cultural insecurities and contradictions about race and class. A quintessentially American story, Morningside explores the courage required to make change and the evolving pursuit of a more inclusive and equal future.
对一场震惊全国的种族悲剧无畏审视——这与最近美国夏洛茨维尔事件有相似之处,以及那些在不懈追求正义的激进分子们,他们拒绝放弃美国所承诺的理想,并希望通过实现种族和解来治愈这座城市分裂的状态。1979年11月3日,在北卡罗来纳州格林斯波尔市附近的摩根斯代住宅旁,活动家内森·约翰逊召集人群举行示威时,突然枪声响起。一支由白人至上主义者组成的车队从现场离开,留下了5名死者。被称为“格林斯波尔大屠杀”的事件及其后果浓缩了当时美国民主中持续的种族冲突、经济焦虑、意识形态碰撞以及腐败和阴谋交织所带来的混乱,并威胁着当今的美国民主。在1979年的法庭上,枪击者被宣判无罪后,约翰逊牧师和他的妻子乔伊斯,以及其他反对警察和格林斯波尔当地势力的盟友,在重建他们自己的生活过程中受到了启示。内森·曼德拉的解构真相与和解委员会以及马丁·路德·金的怀旧社区概念给了约翰逊一家以灵感,并坚称只有正视历史中最艰难的真相,治愈这座城市是他们也不会放弃的希望才会到来。这部亲密、详实且令人震惊的故事叙述融合了幸存者访谈、法院文件以及美国联邦调查局史上最大规模调查案件之一的相关档案资料。该案中的诸多谜团触及到了深层的文化矛盾与关于种族和阶级问题的不安。这是一个典型的美国家园故事,讲述了改变所需要的力量,也展现了追求更包容和平等未来的演变。
