This is an engaging story of the murder of 14 year old Emmett Till in Mississippi in the 1950's. The details are horrific, the acquittal of the two men largely responsible is unforgiveable. The courage and strength of his mother are unimaginable. You learn about the early stages of the NAACP, the Citizen's Council (that I'd never heard of), and early pioneers of the Civil Rights movement. I did get a little bogged down at times with the multitude of names. A story to be read and learned from and taught to the next generations.
