This slice of history is profoundly disturbing and not well enough known; it was before my time, but I was surprised that I was totally unaware of the "Groveland Boys" and their trials, the role of a young Thurgood Marshall, and much of the other territory that the book covers. So kudos to Mr. King for penning it.Many parts of the book are emotionally gripping, as a history of this incident and related ones should be. However, I must agree with "Suzanne," whose review says there was "way too much detail and the author gets sidetracked and away from the story". She's right. Particularly for the first 100-150 pages, there are constant sidetracks about Marshall's relationship with his wife (frustrating because after the earlier portions she's hardly mentioned at all), other civil rights issues and trials with which Marshall was involved, and the history of and political infighting at the NAACP and its Legal Defense Fund, that really aren't critical to the history at all. When Mr. King discusses these areas, he loses his emotional focus and power of the facts begins to fade. And then it takes some time to get back to the Groveland Boys travails, but just as you begin to get revved up, he goes on another sidetrack.Fortunately, he focuses more or less exclusively on the Groveland Boys for the last 100+ pages of the book, so it concludes with an emotional wallop. In my view, this raises it from Suzanne's three stars to four. However, I think this book could have been utterly riveting if the author has stuck to the main story instead of trying to cover too broad a swath of the history of the early civil rights movement.
I'm a native of Lake County, born 1962, raised there, graduated HS there, still call it "home." Knew the sheriff, heard the rumors. But NEVER this story, or that Thurgood came. It angered me, learning so many decades later through this book, what had happened. I reached out to the author about how this revelation affected me. The book is incredibly powerful, the author an incredible story-teller of a painful episode incredibly well sourced and researched. It is a gift. It is moving. It is timely: white people like me will never grasp fully the black experience of rightfully questioning and having trust issues with the justice system that historically failed them. Read this, let it move you, let it open your eyes and your mind. It did it for me, and I'm grateful to Gilbert King for his capable voice and tone here. LTK
Great story, but the book has the best flaw---Thurgood Marshall is just way too interesting as a character. Any scene without him just leaves me hoping he will return soon. Despite what the title of the book implies, large swaths of this book are other people researching, trying, and succeeding in the Groveland case. That said, I learned about the racial oppression and dedicated opposition that Marshall and all blacks faced in the 1940s----when people say "Make America Great Again," I hope they don't mean going back to the world of lynchings and injustice.I did have the audiobook with my Kindle edition, the narration is great.
While at times the book's exhaustive detail of the players in the case of the framed Groveland Boys can be a tad repetitive-- yes, we understand, Sheriff McCall is a true demon-- there is more than enough here to educate and hold the reader in rapt attention. Thurgood Marshall is a true American hero, that is not up for debate. That said, the supporting cast at the NAACP, the ancillary team members defending the Groveland Boys (many of whom were white and Jewish), host of heroic journalists who also risked life and limb to see the truth come to light, and even the few Floridians who were brave enough to change their minds are the real story here.I recommend this book.
Great reporting, poor storytelling. Narrative zigzags back and forth and there are many instances of repetition. The description of developments in the case often pauses dead in the water for many pages to allow the author to digress on ancillary matters. A good editor could have cut this by one-third. Putting the name of Thurgood Marshall in the title of the book was a good marketing move, but in truth Marshall was not the trial attorney, nor the initial appeal lawyer. Franklin Williams, a rival of Marshall within the NAACP, was the courageous trial lawyer and handled the initial appeal; Marshall treated Williams pretty poorly throughout the progress of the case. Other heroes of the story are Norman Bunin, a reporter with the St. Petersburg Times who uncovered key evidence for the defense after the initial trial, and Harry T. Moore, slain Florida NAACP leader. I understand that there is a book by Gary Corsair that tells this story more straightforwardly, but I have not read it.
This book moved me in a way that only a few books have done. I read this book as a group read with one of my GR groups, and I’m glad I did, as it forced me to read at a slower pace, so that I could process and discuss the emotions that were stirred within me as I read about this tragic tale about the miscarriage of justice in a rape case where the accused were young black men and the alleged victim a white woman in the Jim Crow South. The author did an amazing job of explaining all the factors at play, both social and economic, within both the black and white communities, as well as in the North and South. He also pulls back the curtain on the legend of Thurgood Marshall, “Mr. Civil Rightsâ€, and allows the reader a more intimate view of Thurgood Marshall the man. I highly recommend this book to anyone who believes in the basic tenants of our Constitution that all men are deserving of basic civil rights. The events covered in this book serve as a reminder of the dark consequences of denying anyone those basic rights, but also renews hope in the American ideal that it only takes the resolve and tenacity of one man (or woman) with a clear vision and focus to create change in even the most dire of circumstances.
