“The Agitators: A Reminiscence” is a powerful new work of historical fiction about media influence on local issues. It is written by John Mark Pitner, a Carroll County native.
The narrator, Shadrach Greenwood, is sitting on the courthouse steps in Carrollton, Mississippi, gazing at the town square’s Confederate flag flapping in the breeze. He’s reminiscing about the adventures he had 50 years ago with teen friends Matthew and Penny while the adults around them fought over social issues.
