The Sacred Place

By: Daniel Black

Narrated by: Kevin R. Free

Widely hailed for its historical resonance, Daniel Black's The Sacred Place is a powerful examination of racial tensions in 1955 Mississippi.

Visiting from Chicago, 14-year-old Clement is unfamiliar with the social customs of the tiny town of Money. Striding into a general store, he offends the white store clerk by not placing his nickel in her hand. This seemingly innocuous act leads to a horrific murder and a conflict drawn along racial lines.

Another treasure all around

Daniel Black is one of my favorite authors on the planet, and to couple his story with Kevin R. Free's unmatched narration made for one hell of an enjoyable listen. The story and performance brought me to tears; definitely a must-listen for everyone!

learning experience

there was so much that I learned. about the struggle and how it changed the face of history. but there was one character that I hated. and there was no reason for the portrayal of insanity that followed. it made me sick to think that the best of us is portrayed as stupid crazy to the point of delusion.

fabulous book

I throughly enjoy this entire book, top to bottom
it's soul soothing,. informative, enlightening and part of black history

Beautiful!

This book was a beautiful reminder for people to come together as one to affect change.

Just Awesome

Not what I had expected, but definitely well worth it. I just love Dr. Black, may the Lord continue to left him up!
