It has been claimed that the lynching of 14-year-old Emmett Till in 1955 was the spark that set off the American civil rights movement. In this volume, Metress (English, Samford U.) weaves together excerpts from newspapers and editorials of the day, which provide sometimes-contradictory accounts of the murder and trial. The anthology also contains selections from poems, songs, interviews, essays, and memoirs relating to the incident. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
