Review

Emmett Till and the Mississippi Press is a brilliant, riveting book. Davis Houck and Matthew Grindy cast new light on the mythic tale of a terrible murder that shook America and still reverberates in our consciousness today. Beyond their powerful story, the authors provocatively reveal how reporters, editors, historians, and politicians constantly reshape public memory of the critical events of our history. Every academic or citizen interested in having a better understanding of our civil rights history and how we must come to terms with historical truth should read this important book. --Nick Kotz, author of Judgment Days: Lyndon Baines Johnson, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Laws that Changed America

The murder in Mississippi of a wolf-whistling Chicago teenager, at the hands of white supremacists, continues to resonate. Emmett Till and the Mississippi Press shows why. Thanks to its prodigious research and tart observations, this book amplifies our knowledge of a vicious crime and an unjust acquittal, and also illuminates the political and journalistic atmosphere that proved so rancid that it could not be sustained. --Stephen J. Whitfield, author of A Death in the Delta: The Story of Emmett Till
