The Blood of Emmett Till by Timothy B. Tyson

5.0

This is an outstanding and educational book that gets deeply and specifically into what happened not just to Emmett Till but to Mississippi and the country in the late summer of 1955. Really it's an excellent book for anyone, but specifically if you're interested in the birth of the civil rights movement and the catalysts for actual change, this book does an exceptional job of contextualizing every piece of both history and the present day. It's a fast and engaging read and I guarantee you will learn quite a bit.
