Dr. Houston Brummit Publishes a Book That Tells the Enthralling Story of a Civil Rights Activist, Forgotten Legend, and KKK Survivor

Set against the backdrop of a segregated South and an equally racist North, “Talladega Days: The biography of William H. Brummit, M.D., Civil Rights Activist, Forgotten Legend, and KKK Survivor” brings to life the multi-faceted persona of Dr. William Brummit.

From his public face of hard-earned competency to his private faces that varied in their intimacy and supportiveness towards his family, this book provides a unique glimpse into the life and times of a complex man from the nineteenth century.

Dr. Houston Brummit’s insights and accounts of his grandfather’s abduction and assault by the Ku Klux Klan make for a gripping read. “Talladega Days” shed light on the remarkable spirit of Americans of color like William H. Brummit, who demanded respect despite facing threats to their lives and liberties.

This biography allows readers to reflect on post-racial America and the extraordinary individuals who have made a difference despite the odds.

But “Talladega Days” is more than just a biography. Houston Brummit’s genealogy offers a visual narrative of his patrilineal connection to his grandfather and his slave roots in Talladega, Alabama. Using monologues instead of traditional literary prose adds value to the chronological and oral history accounts and their cinematic appeal.

This biography is not just for a specific audience. Brummit’s ancestral voices provide a paradigmatic shift from what the industry has come to accept as traditional events in black life, making the book accessible to a universal audience.

It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the remarkable journey of one man and his impact on the world around him. This book will inspire, educate, and entertain readers.
