A review by ascoular
The Blood of Emmett Till by Timothy B. Tyson

4.0

I admittedly enjoyed the 1-2 chapters that discussed the trial and thought they were too brief. However, I understand the author’s intentional choice to do that - there wasn’t a real trial.

I did want to ignore the scholarship about communism and the pressure to be less racist in the US because of it. It’s an argument that I’m tired reading about in a post-Cold War world.
