Scipio Africanus Jones-a self-taught attorney who was born enslaved-leads a momentous series of court cases to save twelve black men who'd been unjustly sentenced to death. In October 1919, a group of black sharecroppers met at a church in an Arkansas village to organize a union. Bullets rained down on the meeting from outside. Many were killed by a white mob, and others were rounded up and arrested. Twelve of the sharecroppers were hastily tried and sentenced to death. Up stepped Scipio Africanus Jones, a self-taught lawyer who'd been born enslaved. Could he save the men's lives and set them free? Through their in-depth research and consultation with legal experts, award-winning nonfiction authors Sandra and Rich Wallace examine the complex proceedings and an unsung African American early civil rights hero. | Race Against Time by Sandra Neil Wallace, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
