Reading The Marrow of Tradition | Alexandria
Read The Marrow of Tradition by Charles W. Chesnutt. Exposing racial violence through a fictionalized account of the 1898 Wilmington massacre, The Marrow of Tradition dares to dissect how carefully crafted lies and media manipulation can ignite deadly mob violence - a chilling parallel to today's viral misinformation. Chesnutt's most radical assertion? That "justice" often serves as a thin disguise for preserving power.
