Synopsis:
Recounts the abduction and murder of fourteen-year-old Emmett Till by two whites, and describes how their acquittal by an all-white jury helped mobilize the Civil Rights movement
Review:
"A brilliant piece of work―the definitive book on the Till case."
(Hodding Carter III)"A powerful recreation of a terrifying episode in American race relations... Evocatively written and intellectually engaging, this book will appeal to anyone interested in understanding the roots of our continuing racial dilemma."
(Dan T. Carter, author of Scottsboro: A Tragedy of the American South)"Till's sensational case, succinctly reported here, imparted a crucially vital impulse to the civil rights movement of the '60s."
(Publishers Weekly)"Whitfield... is able to write with power, strength, and persuasion."
(Raymond T. Diamond American Journal of Legal History)
