The author Olive Arnold Adams (1912-2016) was a Black journalist whose husband Julius Adams edited New York's Amsterdam News. This powerful account of the Till murder was released just two weeks after the January 1956 Look Magazine story which brought national attention to the case. Adams uncovered new witnesses who were not noted in the Look article.
