Till's lynching became the most notorious hate crime in American history. This extraordinary New York Times bestseller reexamines a pivotal event of the civil rights movement--the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till--"and demands that we do the one vital thing we aren't often enough asked to do with history: learn from it" ( The Atlantic).

Andrew Carl Hutton

I had always wondered how everything played out, and author Devery Anderson, through meticulous research, has done his best to answer all the questions about this case. A must-read! - Talia Hutton

It's a book that's hard to put down, despite the emotional heaviness of the subject matter. Reading this book gave me the most thorough historic account of Emmett Till's tragic story. !

I learned more than I ever imagined there was to know about Emmett's story, and about the life of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley. Anyone who's curious about this case [that's definitely not talked about enough], I highly encourage you to read this book.
