About this audiobook
Editor's Note
Demands revisiting…
This book may have contributed to the Justice Department reopening the investigation into the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till in Mississippi. Part detective story, part political history, it reveals shocking new evidence and proves that some stories in history demand revisiting.

16 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is very well written and conveys what we still know in 2017- that racism is still alive and kicking all over the United States! Hate is a taught and learned behavior which must not be allowed to flourish either in words or actions. Zero tolerance.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was one of the most eye opening books about Emmett Tills life and murder I’ve ever read.
