About This Item
309 pp. Text is clean and unmarked in a square and tight binding. DJ is worn with the front detached from the spine. Previous owner's name is on the front inside cover. Volume from the Liberty Book Club Edition. From the front DJ flap, "On March 25, 1931, nine Negro boys, unemployed and looking for work, were riding on a train that was passing through a Southern town. They got into a fight with some white hobos and knocked off the train. To get even, the whites reported that the Negro kids had raped two white prostitutes whom they knew to be riding on the same freight train. Thus began the Scottsboro case."
