Description

Book Synopsis
Though they were acquitted, these same defendants were soon being ostracized by their own neighbors, and within four months of Till's death, Southern blacks were staging the historic Montgomery bus boycott-the first major battle in the coming war against racial injustice that would lead to the passage of civil rights legislation a decade later.

Trade Review
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
