Sikeston native appreciates scholarly expose of a hate crime
As a 20-year old young lady, born and raised in Sikeston, Missouri (the subject of the book), I am thankful that someone has finally seen fit to make sure Mr. Wright's life wasn't in vain.

Sikeston native appreciates scholarly expose of a hate crime,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lynching of Cleo Wright (Hardcover)

Properly put into historical context, the tragedy is made painfully clear. May we continue to learn from our mistakes.
