Books like We Are Not Afraid by Seth Cagin


1964 Mississippi is burning with bigotry and violence. Three young civil rights workers - James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner - are murdered in cold blood by the Ku Klux Klan and local law officers. It is a crime that shocks the nation - and eventually changes it. From the profound events surrounding the slayings to the gripping investigation and discovery of the killers, to the suspenseful trial, to the federal attack on the Klan. We Are Not Afraid paints a vivid portrait of a horrific crime and a heroic era America will never forget.
