The Lynching of Jesse Washington and the Rise of the NAACP

More recommended reading: Patricia Bernstein's The First Waco Horror: The Lynching of Jesse Washington and the Rise of the NAACP
Yesterday, I attended a booktalk and then had lunch with the author. Eventhough the book is a page turner, I never finished it; it was a borrowed copy which needed to be returned. From listening to Bernstein's presentation, conversation, and an NPR interview, I feel that I can recommend the book and add it to my reading list. I cannot wait to get my eyes on another copy.
