Race Against Time: A Reporter Reopens the Unsolved Murder Cases of the Civil Rights Era by Jerry Mitchell

This feels like it should be required reading for everyone. I was lucky enough to get to meet Jerry Mitchell years ago when I was in high school and participated in the Sojourn Project and got to hear directly from him about his work on these cold cases. But, reading this book now really opened my eyes to what exactly went into pursuing justice for these cases and how paramount the work that went into them really was.
