Did you hear a lot about it or did your parents try to shield you from it all? I think you would like this read, considering. I too hope it is read far and wide.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-38691777933294914192021-03-11T13:03:51.705-06:002021-03-11T13:03:51.705-06:00I agree, without Mitchell going back into the case...I agree, without Mitchell going back into the cases, who knows if they would ever be solved. He compares Civil Rights era crimes to those committed by Nazis and remarks on how even today those last remaining Nazis are still being hunted, while these types of murderers have been allowed to get way with crimes and remain in the very communities where they committed them.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-29602566291608282322021-03-11T13:01:38.216-06:002021-03-11T13:01:38.216-06:00I have had that thought more than once myself, sir...I have had that thought more than once myself, sir.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-91895133207690164462021-03-11T11:04:50.557-06:002021-03-11T11:04:50.557-06:00I was growing up in Mississippi at the time of the...I was growing up in Mississippi at the time of the murder of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner, and the event had a profound effect on me. I was utterly appalled and ashamed and after that I viewed all events through the lens of that brutality. I might argue that at least to some extent it made me the person I am today. This is an important book. I hope it is widely read.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-89697972179670602892021-03-11T11:03:14.656-06:002021-03-11T11:03:14.656-06:00I have read about all those incidents in Taylor Br...I have read about all those incidents in Taylor Branch's biographies of MLK.

I agree that it is so important for a story like this to be told, especially because these situations usually seem hopeless.
