Author Orice Jenkins tells the full story of Ulysses Goolsby and the Early County massacre more than 100 years later. The Early County Massacre has been known as the Grandison Goolsby War for over a century, focusing on the events of December 30th, 1915, when 46-year-old Grandison used gunfire to defend himself from a lynching mob. Lesser known is that the incident started two days earlier when Grandison’s son was attacked on his way to a wedding, and that it all led to the Supreme Court of Georgia sending that same son to death row five years later.

The career highlights of Orice Jenkins have covered more ground than he ever could’ve imagined as a singer-songwriter, genealogy researcher and executive director of a nonprofit organization. His journey as an author started with unearthing the stories of formerly enslaved Americans on his blog, Chesta’s Children. Since then, Orice’s work has been featured in the Washington Post, UsefulCharts.com, Finding Your Roots and on the National Park Service website. He is a member of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society; the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers; and a charter member of the Sons and Daughters of the United States Middle Passage.
