Requests:  0 Summary:  Recounts the story of the Dozier School, a Florida reform school shut down in 2011 due to reports of cruelty, abuse, and mysterious deaths, and the efforts of the author, a leading forensic anthropologist, to locate and exhume the graves of the boys buried there in order to reunite them with their families. For over a century the Arthur G. Dozier Boys School in Florida was the scene of cruelty, abuse, and "mysterious" deaths. The boys sent there, many of whom were Black, were subject to brutal abuse, routinely hired out to local farmers by the school's management as indentured labor, and died either at the school or attempting to escape its brutal conditions. When the institution shut down in 2011 Kimmerle, a forensic anthropologist, stepped in to locate the school's graveyard to determine the number of graves and who was buried there, hoping to reunite the boys with their families through forensic and DNA testing. Records suggested thirty-one boys were buried in unmarked graves in a remote field on the school's property; the real number was at least twice that. Kimmerle provides a detailed account of Jim Crow America and an indictment of the reform school system as we know it. -- Adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 365.42097 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 365.42097 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 365.42097 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 365.42097 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList
