Description
Some families bury secrets. The Watsons bury bodies. Rye Watson has made a shocking discovery. She's related to a slave and the plantation mistress he impregnated. Her family history is America's history. From Andrew Johnson directing an assassinating actor to Lyndon Johnson ending Martin Luther King's dream of reparations, Rye realizes there has always been a Watson behind the scenes. A biracial, bisexual college student, Rye now questions her distaste for labels. Like the country itself, she is forced to choose a side. Her quest to illuminate the truth could cost her everything. Is that a price she's willing to pay? Eliminating Kings is told from Rye's point of view along with the diaries and recollections of those who lived through history and those who made it. Eliminating Kings reveals the truths of the elites, the poor, and the minorities by illustrating how the post-Civil War 's class system was really established. It looks at how Jewish advisors were removed from top Civil Rights posts by men opposed to socialist ideals. It is a journey across the Watson and Ray family lines -- men who were top advisors to Presidents and uneducated Whites ignorant of their puppet masters.
