Leslie Stainton - Scarlett: Slavery's Enduring Legacy in an American Family

Old Fourth Ward

Leslie Stainton, a sixth-generation descendant of Georgia enslavers, exposes the brutal truth her family buried beneath Gone with the Wind's romanticized myth. Her new book traces centuries of cruelty, greed and violence that connect a 1901 execution to Ahmaud Arbery's 2020 murder on former Scarlett land.
