Ross Howell Jr. visits The Context of White Supremacy. A University of Virginia alumnus, prolific writer and a White man, Howell lives in North Carolina with his wife and rescued hounds. We'll examine his freshly printed debut novel, Forsaken. The book centers around an impoprtant piece of authentic Virginia history. Howell describes the tragic life of Virginia Christian. This black teenager was given the death penalty and executed for killing her White female employer in 1912. Christian alleged that the White woman, Ida Belote, falsely accused her and physically assaulted her with an object; Christian defended herself and killed Belote in the process. Christian was expeditiously arrested, convicted and electrocuted. We'll ask why Ross Howell became interested in this case as well as why he chose present this material in the form of fiction. The main character who guides us through Forsaken is a "well-meaning" White journalist (Charlie Mears), who does practice Racism, but is eventually accused of betraying his obligations to the White Race. Gus is a Virginia native and a UVA graduate; however, he never heard a word about Ms. Christian. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
