Reviews
" In this gripping personal account, Joseph McGill Jr., and Herb Frazier seek to deepen and broaden our understanding of the horrors our African American ancestors endured for generations by chronicling McGill's experiences sleeping in former slave dwellings. I firmly believe that our history must be told and should be understood if we are to avoid repeating our worst mistakes. Sleeping with the Ancestors will further that goal by serving as a tremendous historical reference from which all can learn." -- Congressman James E. Clyburn, "A blending of historical accounts, personal experience, and evolving thought, Sleeping with the Ancestors chronicles Joseph McGill Jr.'s dedicated journey to remember the lives of enslaved individuals.... Easy to read... thought-provokingly deep.... A narrative that will enter the historiographical record for how the interpretation of slavery has been challenged and changed over the years." -- Emerging Civil War, "Thought-provoking... [ Sleeping with the Ancestors ] searingly describes dirt-floored cabins besieged by mosquitoes and creaky, airless attics, and it delves into the biographies of the properties' past inhabitants. As Mr. McGill's teams spent largely sleepless hours in these quarters, they grew hyper-observant.... Mr. McGill has paid particular attention to brickwork; the clay, he writes, remains textured with 'finger-shaped impressions' from enslaved brick makers."-- The New York Times, "Scripture teaches to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly (Micah 6:8). Joe McGill walks the walk, and his hands-on, day-and-night journey inspires--one dwelling at a time. Few have done more than this determined South Carolinian to heal the scars of enslavement and lead us back--all of us--to the generations of ancestors whose unpaid labor shaped America. I feel lucky to have slept on some hard floors, seeing him stir the embers, share the meal, and invite the conversations that we all need to have."-- Peter H. Wood, Duke University historian, author of Black Majority and Strange New Land, "A soul-stirring memoir by a modern-day crusader who confronts our Nation's original sin to save forgotten national historic treasures in tribute to our enslaved ancestors who dwelled in them." -- Dr. Edda L. Fields-Black, Carnegie Mellon University historian and author of Combee: Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid, and Black Freedom During the Civil War, "This book serves to further wash away that sugarcoating and awaken us to what it might have been like to work the fields all day then sleep on the floor at night, with a family of 10 crammed into one room. As McGill discovers, the realities were harsh and the comforts few, but in these pages, his dream of bringing those realities into the limelight are realized."-- Charleston Magazine

Synopsis
Joseph McGill Jr., a historic preservationist and Civil War reenactor, founded the Slave Dwelling Project in 2010 based on an idea that was sparked and first developed in 1999.Since founding the project, McGill has been touring the country, spending the night in former slave dwellings-throughout the South, but also the North and the West, where people are often surprised to learn that such structures exist. Events and gatherings are arranged around these overnight stays, and it provides a unique way to understand the often otherwise obscured and distorted history of slavery. The project has inspired difficult conversations about race in communities from South Carolina to Alabama to Texas to Minnesota to New York, and all over the United States. Sleeping with the Ancestors focuses on all of the key sites McGill has visited in his ongoing project and digs deeper into the actual history of each location, using McGill's own experience and conversations with the community to enhance those original stories. Altogether, McGill and co-author Herb Frazier give readers an important unexpected emersion into the history of slavery, and especially the obscured and ignored aspects of that history., In this enlightening personal account, one man tells the story of his groundbreaking project to sleep in former slave dwellings--revealing the fascinating history behind these sites and shedding light on larger issues of race in America.
