Additional Details

A chronology of violence visited on black people from 1969 until the time of printing. "In the eyes of white America, the life of one black man weighs less than that of a white man. Last week highway patrolmen opened fire without warning on the girls' dormitory at Jackson State College in Mississippi, murdering two black students. Three days earlier, six black men in Augusta Georgia were shot to death when Lester Maddox unleashed his police forces on the black community."
