Road Through Midnight is not an easy read, nor is it meant to be, but it is a powerful means for learning part of our shared history. Jessica Ingram spent more than a decade creating what she describes as 'an interpretive and suggestive work rather than a scholarly one,' but one that--through her photographs, detailed research, and many personal interviews--will help readers connect the past to the present and with what still remains to be done.-- Georgia Library Quarterly, "One of the most powerful books of documentary content I know of. . . . It might be the book's greatest strength that it reminds us that terrible things can happen in ordinary places, in seemingly ordinary times, and that they could yet again."-- Study the South, Road Through Midnight is not an easy read, nor is it meant to be, but it is a powerful means for learning part of our shared history.

Synopsis
At first glance, Jessica Ingram's landscape photographs could have been made nearly anywhere in the American South: a fenced-in backyard, a dirt road lined by overgrowth, a field grooved with muddy tire prints. These seemingly ordinary places, however, were the sites of pivotal events during the civil rights era, though often there is not a plaque with dates and names to mark their importance. Many of these places are where the bodies of activists, mill workers, store owners, sharecroppers, children and teenagers were murdered or found, victims of racist violence. Images of these places are interspersed with oral histories from victims' families and investigative journalists, as well as pages from newspapers and FBI files and other ephemera.With Road Through Midnight , the result of nearly a decade of research and fieldwork, Ingram unlocks powerful and complex histories to reframe these commonplace landscapes as sites of both remembrance and resistance and transforms the way we regard both what has happened and what's happening now--as the fight for civil rights goes on and memorialization has become the literal subject of contested cultural and societal ground., At first glance, Jessica Ingram's landscape photographs could have been made nearly anywhere in the American South: a fenced-in backyard, a dirt road lined by overgrowth, a field grooved with muddy tire prints.
