Mrs. Till wrote a very good book. I read it about 10 years ago. It’s well worth searching for if you are interested.
Well that was fun, my computer just obliterated the two paragraphs I had written, so now I am in remember mode.
I asked, did the book you read, have any additional information that proves what has been said in this thread. Was the story of his father being hanged for rape in WWII corroborated by the book.
It appears that the entire tragedy was precipitated by a young visitor’s inexperience with the state of mind in 1955 MS regarding race relations. I was living in AL at the time and remember how things were.
I remember as much as any fifteen year old might remember from way back when.
