The book is a collection of 23 stories about “individuals of color through slavery and Jim Crow, in Nashville and beyond.”

Clements has been studying history and writing about history for almost 50 years. His first book, a two-volume study of the architecture and history of antebellum homes in Davidson County called “A Past Remembered,” came out in 1987. Then, he got interested in the stories people had to tell — the living history of Middle Tennessee.
