The Blood of Emmett Till by Timothy B. Tyson

4.0

A must-read for anti-racist activists. Tyson's well-researched coverage of Emmett Till's horrific lynching is told so matter-of-factly that each revelation packs a punch. Tyson delves deep, revealing the intelligence and cunning required for civil rights activists to make progress. Too often history remembers these activists as wholesome, inherently good, or simple. Tyson takes readers behind the scenes to show the machinations of those fighting for and against racism. It's a staggering story that serves as a reminder of how little, and how much, things have changed.
