(2) YA This is a sobering and insightful account of the 1955 Mississippi murder trial of two white men for the killing of a fourteen-year-old black boy from Chicago. The drama in the book comes from the reconstruction of a national social climate that finally allowed for widespread denouncement of the "Southern way of life." Many effective black-and-white photos are included. Timeline, resources. Bib.
