Unsolved Civil Rights Murder Cases, 1934-1970

Meer over het boek

The book explores the implications of the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act of 2007, which mandated the review of civil rights violations resulting in death before 1970. It highlights the U.S. Attorney General's investigation into cases dating back to 1936, emphasizing the selective nature of the cases chosen for review. The narrative delves into the complexities of justice and the historical context of civil rights violations, raising questions about which cases are prioritized and the impact of that selection on societal understanding of racial injustice.
