Abstract:
'Our Portion of Hell' offers an unrivalled account of how a rural Black community drew together to combat the immense forces aligned against them. Robert Hamburger first visited Fayette County as part of a student civil rights project in 1965 and, in 1971, set out to document the history of the grassroots movement there.
