An unforgettable journey through racism and faith across the generations. January 15, 1959—a day that changed one family forever. White supremacists kidnapped and beat rural Alabama preacher Israel Page, nearly killing him. After "they" "got Daddy," Israel Page's children began leaving the Jim Crow South, the event leaving an indelible mark on the family and its future. Decades later, the events fueled journalist Sharon Tubbs's epic quest to learn who had "gotten" her mother's daddy and why.
