Kelvin Ray Oxendine examines the Lumbee and Tuscarora resistance to the Ku Klux Klan at Hayes Pond in 1958, following Cecil Lowery through a tense day in Robeson County as he ultimately takes a stand against hate. #historicalfiction #NativeAmerican amzn.to/4pbRePH?utm_ca…

If this happened today…it would be plastered all over. But it didn’t and most people have never heard of it. An Indigenous community stood together. An entire hate filled movement collapsed in minutes. Beneath the Swamp’s Shadow brings that moment back into view.
History hides some of its most powerful stories. 1958. Hayes Pond. The Klan came for intimidation. They left humiliated. An Indigenous community stood together and won. Beneath the Swamp’s Shadow brings it to life. Have you read it? #NativeHistory #IndigenousVoices
100+ libraries. Worldwide. From Harvard to New Zealand to South Africa...this story is spreading. Henry Berry Lowry. Hayes Pond. A history most were never taught. 📚 If your library doesn’t have it, request it. #BeneathTheSwampsShadow #HistoryMatters #Indigenous #Lumbee #Books
They said Henry Berry Lowry disappeared. No grave. No proof. But some stories don’t end... they carry forward. In names. In memory. In blood. And one day… they rise again. 🪶 #HenryBerryLowry #7Generations
When your version of history starts to crack... Do you protect it or question it? Some truths don’t disappear. They wait. Beneath the Swamp’s Shadow uncovers them. #BeneathTheSwampsShadow #IndigenousHistory #IndigenousLit #IndigenousVoices #Lumbee #Tuscarora
Before Hayes Pond... the ancestors of the present-day Lumbee had already proven who they were. Different century. Different enemy. Same land. Same people. Same refusal to back down. 📘 Read the full story in Beneath the Swamp’s Shadow. #BeneathTheSwampsShadow #NativeHistory
The Klan brought a rally. The Natives brought a community. Hayes Pond - 1958. Some victories never made the history books. Read about it in Beneath the Swamp’s Shadow. #Indigenous #Lumbee #Tuscarora #HayesPond #HenryBerryLowrie
When the Ku Klux Klan came to Hayes Pond in 1958 expecting fear… they found something else. A community shaped by the legacy of Henry Berry Lowrie nearly 100 years earlier. Some battles begin long before the night they’re fought. 📘 Beneath the Swamp’s Shadow
Enter to win a copy of Beneath the Swamp’s Shadow, a gripping historical novel inspired by the true story of the 1958 Battle of Hayes Pond and the enduring legacy of Henry Berry Lowrie. goodreads.com/giveaway/show/… #Giveaway #HenryBerryLowrie #HayesPond #IndigenousHistory
January 18, 1958. The Ku Klux Klan came to Hayes Pond expecting fear. Instead they met the Lumbee, Tuscarora, and other Natives standing together. The rally ended with Klansmen fleeing into the darkness. That story lives on in Beneath the Swamp’s Shadow. #NativeHistory
📖✨ Beneath the Swamp’s Shadow by Kelvin Ray Oxendine honours those who stood firm, those who carried memory when others would have erased it, and those who continue to walk forward with that inheritance held close. maryanneyarde.blogspot.com/2026/03/editor… #BookReview #HistoricalFiction
I’m incredibly grateful for this powerful review of Beneath the Swamp’s Shadow by Tellen Thurlow: “I thoroughly enjoyed Beneath the Swamp’s Shadow… a well-written and thought-out story set in 1958 North Carolina... this book kept me hooked. I’m seriously thinking of buying the paperback—something I rarely ever do—and adding it to my top 20 collection... the characters, the flow, and the research are phenomenal.” #BeneathTheSwampsShadow #HenryBerryLowrie #HayesPond #Lumbee #Tuscarora #IndigenousVoices
