Green, Kristen

The listener will feel satisfied with the ending of this story about one of the evilest places in history.

Green's work brims with real-life detail from the journalist's eye and ear and joins the likes of Diane McWhorter's Carry Me Home in further developing the dimensions of the South's desegregation struggle—particularly from the perspective of white communities—for general readers and scholars of the late 20th-century civil rights movement.
