Thank you for writing about such an important topic~ and thank you for writing for young adults. I am using Mississippi Trial, 1955 as a springboard into the Civil Rights unit I do with 7th graders.

I thank you for writing it and I hope to read more of your books.ĭarcy LaPanta posts on 3:36:43 PM Mr. I heard about emmit till but after reading your book I felt like I was in that time period. It tells the story of Emmett Till in a fictional and historically accurate way!īrandon posts on 5:22:18 PM I am eighteen and I fell in lov e with your book. Also, Mississippi Trial, 1955 provides a second side to the story, from the point of view of somebody who actually experienced that time. We also read Getting Away With Murder, which was useful because it provided a lot of information. Stephanie posts on 5:02:09 PM I am reading Mississippi Trial, 1955 in school and it is such an intersting book. My next book, out in June, is a biography of Thurgood Marshall. I know the murderer is 'unsolved' but who were your intentions of it? Who did you mean to be the killer.I just finished the book literally 5 minutes ago and wanted to know more about it and found this site.Ĭhris Crowe posts on 9:18:03 PM hey anyone avalible to talk about my 'book' hehe if u kno what i mean call me 50Ĭhris Crowe posts on 7:14:28 AM Thanks for reading about Emmett Till.

My plan was that RC Rydell would be the 'third man,' but half way through the novel, I realized that it shouldn't be RC, it should be Grampa. In my novel, I knew that at least one other man had been involved in the murder, but at the time I was researching and writing, no one had ever been named. Most experts on the case believe that there were still others involved who have never been named. The recent FBI report said that Leslie Milam, JW's brother, had a hand in the killing. We've learned in recent years that other men were involved in the murder. You can read the article in the January 1956 issue of LOOK magazine. Really nice.Ĭhris Crowe posts on 10:27:23 PM Roy Bryant and J W Milam confessed to the crime a couple months after the trial. Katie posts on 10:49:03 AM Thanks Chris.so it really was Grandpa? And I loved the way the book ended to with the dad and Hiram talking and getting along.
