Black Author Releases New Book About Dismantling White Supremacy During the Post-Civil War Reconstruction Era

J. Darnell Johnson, the 2025 Black Authors Matter Award winner in the Young Adult category, has released a new book titled Dark Country, a powerful story about dismantling white supremacy during the Post–Civil War Reconstruction Era.

In the story, Blaze Vaughn and his partner, Shaman Stroud, are Super-Secret Service agents of the U.S. government. Led by the renowned and concealed abolitionist Frederick Douglass, they traverse the tumultuous South aboard their private train, Destiny, as the Liberators. Their mission is to fight against injustice toward Negroes and dismantle white supremacy during the post-Civil War Reconstruction era of the mid-1860s and 70s.
