Over twenty-two months in 1979 and 1981 nearly two dozen children were unspeakably murdered in Atlanta despite national attention and outcry; they were all Black. James Baldwin investigated these murders, the Black administration in Atlanta, and Wayne Williams, the Black man tried for the crimes. Because there was only evidence to convict Williams for the murders of two men, the children's cases were closed, offering no justice to the families or the country. Baldwin's incisive analysis implicates the failures of integration as the guilt party, arguing, "There could be no more devastating proof of this assault than the slaughter of the children." As Stacey Abrams writes in her foreword, "The humanity of black children, of black men and women, of black lives, has ever been a conundrum for America. Forty years on, Baldwin's writing reminds us that we have never resolved the core query: Do black lives matter? Unequivocally, the moral answer is yes, but James Baldwin refuses such rhetorical comfort." In this, his last book, by excavating American race relations Baldwin exposes the hard-to-face ingrained issues and demands that we all reckon with them.

From the summer of 1979 through the spring of 1981, Atlanta, Georgia was held under siege by a serial killer and dozens of victims started to appear. The series of murders, which became known as the "Atlanta Child Murders case," gripped the city of Atlanta with fear and shocked the nation because most of the victims were children. The fact that the victims were all black and mostly male caused many in Atlanta's black community to fear that their children were being targeted by a racist conspiracy.In this true crime book you will read about how the Atlanta Child Murders case put a city under siege and how a task force of law enforcement officers from several different agencies eventually captured the killer. You will follow the investigation as the police use what was at the time fairly new techniques of criminal profiling and fiber evidence to capture and convict the killer. For many around the country, once the killer was arrested, it was difficult to accept. The killer was a young, nerdy-looking man named Wayne Williams. To many people his background didn't seem to indicate he was a serial killer, but the professional profilers knew otherwise!Open the pages of the following book and learn the true story of Wayne Williams and the Atlanta Child Murders. You will learn about how Williams evolved from a nerdy kid who loved electronics into what is perhaps the most prolific black serial killer. You will be horrified by some of the details of this case, but you will not be able to put down this book.

From the author of the Oprah's Book Club Selection An American Marriage, here is a beautifully evocative novel that proves why Tayari Jones is "one of the most important voices of her generation" (Essence). It was the end of summer, a summer during the two-year nightmare in which Atlanta's African-American children were vanishing and twenty-nine would be found murdered by 1982. Here fifth-grade classmates Tasha Baxter, Rodney Green, and Octavia Harrison will discover back-to-school means facing everyday challenges in a new world of safety lessons, terrified parents, and constant fear. The moving story of their struggle to grow up-and survive- shimmers with the piercing, ineffable quality of childhood, as it captures all the hurts and little wins, the all-too-sudden changes, and the merciless, outside forces that can sweep the young into adulthood and forever shape their lives. PRAISE FOR TAYARI JONES "Tayari Jones is blessed with vision to see through to the surprising and devastating truths at the heart of ordinary lives, strength to wrest those truths free, and a gift of language to lay it all out, compelling and clear." -- Michael Chabon "Tayari Jones has emerged as one of the most important voices of her generation." -- Essence "One of America's finest writers." -- Nylon.com "Tayari Jones is a wonderful storyteller." -- Ploughsharesspan

Download Those Bones Are Not My Child Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This suspenseful novel portrays a community--and a family--under siege, during the shocking string of murders of black children in Atlanta in the early 1980s. Written over a span of twelve years, and edited by Toni Morrison, who calls Those Bones Are Not My Child the author's magnum opus, Toni Cade Bambara's last novel leaves us with an enduring and revelatory chronicle of an American nightmare. Having elected its first black mayor in 1980, Atlanta projected an image of political progressiveness and prosperity. But between September 1979 and June 1981, more than forty black children were kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and brutally murdered throughout "The City Too Busy to Hate." Zala Spencer, a mother of three, is barely surviving on the margins of a flourishing economy when she awakens on July 20, 1980 to find her teenage son Sonny missing. As hours turn into days, Zala realizes that Sonny is among the many cases of missing children just beginning to attract national attention. Growing increasingly disillusioned with the authorities, who respond to Sonny's disappearance with cold indifference, Zala and her estranged husband embark on a desperate search. Through the eyes of a family seized by anguish and terror, we watch a city roiling with political, racial, and class tensions.

You Are A Click Away From Discovering The Chilling Stories Of The Over 30 Black Children And Young Adults Murdered In Atlanta In 1979-1981 That Have Left The Families Of The Victims And The World At Large Still Wondering Who Was Truly Responsible For The Murders! July 25th 1979 After the buzzer signaling the end of their game sounded, Q, Teddy and other members of their team gather to shake hands, and the assembly breaks up. Q leaves the Boys' Club and starts walking home. As he nears the intersection, his friend Randy Joe Heast shouts out to him, while standing next to his car across the street. "Hey, man. Where you heading?" "Home," said Q. "Well. I can get you closer. I'm heading to the movies to meet up with a friend" "Thanks." Q crosses the street and joins Heath, and moments later, they drive off. The car pulls up near a bus stop and Q gets out.... Three days later, Louis Evans' (Q's mother) panic is uncontainable. She has not seen Q since July 25th. She has already called every one of his friends but no one knows where he is. Perhaps it's because the police are yet to identify two bodies of two dead children who had been discovered in Niskey Lake Road, and they need several more weeks. Q and Teddy are the two bodies. They had been the first two victims of a serial killer! And for the next 2 years (in the period between 1979 and 1981), more than 30 black children and young adults would die under mysterious circumstances that would later be commonly referred to as 'Atlanta child murders", leaving families heartbroken and still seeking answers, even to-date on who was really responsible for the murders. I know you are wondering... Why has the mystery never been fully solved? What were the lapses? What did the police do in handling the investigations? Who was the prime suspect and how were they 'caught'? What was the evidence? Was anybody jailed for the murders? Why were they interested in kids? Who were the victims and how did they meet their untimely death? If you're the type that likes your stories silent, mysterious and spine-chilling, then this true crime stories blockbuster is what your nerves have desperately been looking for. Given its delicate structure, and a style that epitomize suspense, drama and action at its finest, I'd advise you to put aside your current read for this one. This book features: The stories of the victims from the time they disappeared to the time their lifeless bodies were discovered How investigations were done How the murders were all connected Who was found responsible for the murders and how he was found responsible for two of the murders Why nobody was charged for most of the murders yet the cases were closed How the cases were reinstated several times years later and how they were closed again Why the world believes there was more to the murders than what came up during the prosecution Why most people believe that the police did a shoddy job And much more Even if you are not much into serial killer stories, you will love this one!
