In the Name of Emmett Till: How the Children of the Mississippi Freedom Struggle Showed Us Tomorrow

Excellent storytelling of local involvement in the national civil rights struggle.

I bought the book at an author's talk, read it, and I am buying 2 more copies for my school library. This book is a treasure. Robert Mayer is a man that anyone would be blessed to meet in their lives. I have taught history for 30 years and learned more about the Civil Rights movement in this book's 177 pages than most people would learn in most public school classes. A highly recommended book for any library, young adult or adult.
