100 Years from Mississippi

Mamie Lang Kirkland's family fled in terror from a mob of men determined to lynch her father and his friend in 1915 Ellisville, Mississippi. The incident left an indelible mark on Mamie, who vowed never to return to the state - until now. Her son Tarabu Betserai Kirkland takes his mother back to Ellisville to share her story, honor the victims of racial violence, and celebrate the resilience of those who endured such unimaginable terror.
