Soul City

Thomas Healy's book, *Soul City: Race, Equality, and the Lost Dream of an American Utopia*, tells the story of civil rights leader Floyd McKissick's ambitious plan to build a city in North Carolina that would serve as a model for Black economic empowerment.

Despite initial support, the project faced significant opposition and was eventually abandoned.

Healy explores themes of structural racism, economic inequality, and the struggle for equality in America.
