At the Dangerous Edge of Social Justice

This book is a searing indictment of reprehensible -- and often murderous -- racism in America from Mark Twain's Huck Finn on the Mississippi, to Emmett Till, killed in Mississippi in 1955, Medgar Evers killed in 1963, Malcolm X killed in 965, Martin Luther King Jr., killed in 1968, James Byrd Jr., killed in Texas in 1998 to Treyvon Martin killed in 2012. This is stark, unvarnished history. Highly important for understanding 20th century American culture.
