AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"Junius Wilson (1908-2001) spent seventy-six years at a state mental hospital in Goldsboro, North Carolina, including six in the criminal ward. He had never been declared insane by a medical professional or found guilty or any criminal charge. But he was deaf and black in the Jim Crow South. This is the story of his life." "Biographers Susan Burch and Hannah Joyner expand the traditional interpretation of Jim Crow by highlighting the complicated intersections of race and disability as well as of community of language. There is much to learn and remember about Junius Wilson and the countless others who have lived unspeakable histories."--BOOK JACKET.Burch, Susan is the author of 'Unspeakable' with ISBN 9780807831557 and ISBN 0807831557.
