  • Blunt, sometimes painful tale of racism in the south

    Amanda R. - 1 year 7 months ago

    This is the Pulitzer Prize-winning tale of the rape accusations leveled against four young black men by a teenage white woman in 1949 in segregated Florida. Thurgood Marshall was in the midst of building his reputation as "Mr Civil Rights" and faced blatant racism, death threats, and endless challenges as he attempted to gain a fair outcome for the defendants. The language used is an accurate reflection of the time and conditions but is still difficult to digest in this day and age. The injustices and flat out criminal acts committed by the prosecutors, judges, and especially the sheriff are astounding and infuriating. This is an engaging, frustrating, and entertaining read for anyone interested in civil rights, Thurgood Marshall, or true crime.
