I'm very, very pleased that my story of a young, journalist's investigation into a black man's death in Jim Crow Alabama is resonating with readers. Based, in part, on a true incident in my family, this imagining of the last days of the journalist's great-grandfather, and her ultimate discovery of the truth, is just a tiny example of the myriad stories of America's social justice history. If one can be proud and humble at the same time, I am. I'm also grateful.
