Tyson, a childhood friend of Teel's younger son who was living in Oxford in those years, earned a doctorate and became an historian. He published Blood Done Sign My Name (2004), about the killing of Marrow, the trial, and their effects on Oxford, North Carolina and the civil rights movement. It recounted the events of Marrow's killing, and related them to broader social issues of the time and the racial history of the area. The book was adapted as a 2010 film of the same name, written and directed by Jeb Stuart. Filmed in several cities in North Carolina, it starred Ricky Schroder, Nate Parker, and Nick Searcy. It was also adapted as a play of the same name, which premiered at Duke University in 2008. Notes Bibliography Tyson, Timothy. Blood Done Sign My Name. New York: Crown Publishers, 2004.
