    Description

    by Anthony Paul Griffin (Author)

    The Water Cries represents an ambitious search for
    the location of the slave auction houses in one of America's most storied
    cities. The author plumbs historical documentation, sifting historical
    advertisements and archiving familial connections.

    The book is a history told by grandmothers and grandfathers.
    It addresses a history previously told under a different light or never told at
    all. These are the tales of an heir of the previously enslaved, tales of images
    seen and unseen, the voices of the mystical. The Water Cries represents
    a contribution to the telling of the long-ignored truths of Galveston's central role
    in the untenable trade of human souls, slavery.

    The book is divided into three sections: before Emancipation
    (1840-1865); after Emancipation (1865-1940); and concrete suggestions for Galveston moving forward. This latter section involves
    giving faces and names to the voices we hear, the creation of a historical
    district, and the borrowing of other communities' progress.

    The Water Cries is a contribution to the rest of us
    also, particularly as we continue to grapple with what W. E. B. Du Bois
    described as America's unique problem, the color line.
