Slave Graves

Thomas Hollyday

This compelling work examines the largely forgotten burial grounds of enslaved people and the histories they preserve. Blending historical investigation with cultural reflection, it explores slavery, memory, identity, and the ongoing struggle to acknowledge lives too often omitted from the official record. Through the stories attached to these graves, the book considers how communities confront painful pasts and reclaim the dignity of those who came before. It offers a thought-provoking meditation on remembrance, historical responsibility, and the enduring legacy of slavery.

Power

Thomas Hollyday

This thought-provoking work examines power as both a force that shapes societies and a responsibility that tests those who possess it. Through a wide-ranging exploration of influence, authority, ambition, and control, it considers how power is acquired, exercised, and challenged. The book invites readers to look beyond institutions and leaders to the human choices and competing interests that determine who gets heard—and who is left without a voice.
