​“When Charlottesville’s black community was all but erased from descriptions of the 2017 ‘Summer of Hate’, as if black people have not always been central to the resistance to the white supremacists, I realized that our overlooked and sometimes forgotten success stories needed to be shared from a black perspective with the world. 
A Legacy Unbroken tells these stories.” —Tanesha Hudson
A Legacy Unbroken neither “whitewashes” the black experience in Charlottesville by viewing it from a white perspective nor focuses on its difficult and negative aspects: instead, through interviews with community leaders and ordinary residents and a wealth of archival photographs (from The Tribune in UVA Special Collections and family histories), it richly celebrates the many positive, resilient, and outstanding aspects of business, religious, family, and leisure-time life in Charlottesville’s African American community. It shows how the black community achieved success despite all the obstacles that Southern racism placed in their path.
