Medgar and Myrlie: Medgar Evers and the Love Story That Awakened America by Joy-Ann Reid

challenging emotional informative sad medium-paced

4.5

My god this was so well written but whew did it break my heart. I never knew it took almost 3 decades to bring Medgar’s killer to justice after multiple efforts. And he was an absolute jerk - publishing writing that continually antagonized the Evers family…cracks my heart. 

Excellently researched and written by Joy-Ann Reid.
