3.0 out of 5 stars 7 / 10, December 10, 2008

J Alvi (San Diego) - See all my reviews

This review is from: On Lynchings (Classics in Black Studies) (Paperback)

A decent read. Though I enjoyed much of her story, and admired her crusade, I admittedly tired of the many letters written to her that she included. So the way that it was written did make for an eye sore at times, however this does not diminish her own story or who she was, her great struggles, and her steadfast beliefs in what she stood for.
