Dr. Curtis Rogers discusses a new book from the University of South Carolina Press with Dr. Daniel Harrison. He is the author of Live at Jackson Station, a book about a rhythm and blues club in rural Hodges, South Carolina, in the 1980s that brought a very metropolitan vibe to the sleepy town – but! It has a true-crime angle. Dr. Harrison is a professor of sociology at Lander University in Greenwood, South Carolina, and also the author of Making Sense of Marshall Ledbetter: The Dark Side of Political Protest.
