“I’ve never heard anything about this event before. Ever!” said my big sister after reading my son Zeke’s book report back in May 2021. “What a fascinating paper!” That’s a pretty ringing endorsement considering that my oldest sis is both extremely well-read and quite the history buff.

Michael Lankford is a former police detective, now school resource officer who was fired by a North Carolina police department where he had worked for 13 years.
