The last chapter tells the story of Tim’s resolution to return to Oxford and tell the story that becomes first a Master’s Thesis and then Blood Done Sign My Name. The chapter also recounts some harrowing moments of research and a reminder that Jim Crow was still alive in the 1990s.
On page 307, Tim ponders a question asked him as he was writing this book. Some of your friends or family may have asked you the same kind of question when you signed up for "Freedom Ride 2010: A Journey of Reconciliation.” “Why dredge this stuff up? Why linger on the past which we cannot change. We must move toward a brighter future and leave all that horror behind.
How does Tim answer that question? How do you?
