The Blood of Emmett Till by Timothy B. Tyson
5.0
Must read. Every single American must read this book.
"...the lynching of Emmett Till was caused by the nature and history of America itself and by a social system that has changed over the years, but not as much as we pretend."
"America is still killing Emmett Till, but often by means less direct than bludgeons and bullets."
"The glorification of one race and the consequent debasement of another-and others-always has been and always will be a recipe for murder."
