We Must Not Forget

As one who was on the scene at the time,I marvel that Gary Corsair has uncovered and bought to light the shocking events
that tore through Groveland,Florida in 1949 after four young
black men were falsely accused of raping a white woman: two
shot to death (one by a mob,one by Sherrif Willis McCall),
two railroaded to prison, the homes of their families and
friends destroyed by mob violence. Now that the Justice Department has decided to reopen the investigation of the death of Emmett Till, it'a time to follw Corsair's brave lead and
bring final justice to Groveland.

Shocking!

Gary Corsair's The Groveland Four: The Sad Saga of a Legal Lynching is a shocking look at a dark age in America's past. This is a story of hate, violence, and prejudice. Corsair investigates the legal lynching of four young black men in 1949's Groveland, Florida who were accused of raping a 17-year-old white woman. Corsair uses interviews from the people who lived the tragedy, including the only surviving defendant, to shape an accurate description of this heartrending event. This book explains with great insightfulness the discrimination in criminal justice administration at the time of the civil rights movement. It's just a shame it took this long for someone to tell this story. This book was very compelling from the first word you will be hooked. I recommend this to anyone who likes to read a gripping story of corruption, courage, and redemption.
