In 1945, Willie McGee, a young African-American man from Laurel, Mississippi, was sentenced to death for allegedly raping Willette Hawkins, a white housewife. At first, McGee's case was barely noticed, covered only in hostile Mississippi newspapers and far-left publications such as the Daily Worker. Then Bella Abzug, a young New York labor lawyer, was hired by the Civil Rights Congress—an aggressive civil rights organization with ties to the Communist Party of the United States—to oversee McGee's defense.

How Far Have We Come
Revisado: 04-05-15
Having grown up in the south during the 1950s and 1960s, I must admit that I had not heard this story. We are still needlessly killing African-American men, but now by the gun in the hands of policemen.
We may never know the complete truth but, Alex Heard's outstanding research gives us insight into a very dark, brutal, and lawless time. If you are the father of a African-American son, or daughter for that matter, it's your duty to make them aware of the hidden history of this "great" nation.
