520 "A writer in search of his roots discovers stories of
African American struggle, sacrifice, and achievement. In
The Garretts of Columbia, author David Nicholson tells a
multigenerational story of Black hope and resilience.
Carefully researched and beautifully written, The Garretts
of Columbia engages readers with stories of a family whose
members believed in the possibility of America. Nicholson
relates the sacrifices, defeats, and affirming victories
of a cohort of stalwart men and women who embraced
education, fought for their country, and asserted their
dignity in the face of a society that denied their
humanity and discounted their abilities. The letters of
Anna Maria 'Mama' Threewitts Garrett, along with other
archival sources and family stories passed down through
generations, provided the framework that allowed Nicholson
to trace his family's deep history, and with it a story
about Black life in segregated Columbia, SC, from the
years after the Civil War to World War II"--|cProvided by
