Abstract:
"Around 150 years ago, a group of freedmen and women established a kingdom in Henderson County that flourished, faded, then disappeared. New research is bringing the true origins of the community to light." Recent research by Suzanne Hale and Ronnie Pepper provides a clearer picture of the forces shaping this one-time community. The original narrative was first shared in Sadie Smathers Patton's book, The Kingdom of the Happy Land. Riding on the inspiration of Hale and Pepper's research, author Dolen Perkins-Valdez is set to publish her latest novel, "Happy Land in April 2025.
