I knew ahead of time that I would feel sadness and anger at Medgar Evers' death. It was harder because the author brings their lives into focus. She chronicles their lives as they relate to the Civil Rights Movement. I knew that Medgar was an activist, but I didn't know much about him. 

I want to thank Joy-Ann Reid for writing this book. You helped me to understand things a little bit more. In these times, it's more important than ever to study this history. 

The author narrated this book, but there were a few places where the volume was off, usually too high. The sound engineer could have tweaked this. 

I would encourage everyone to read or listen to this book.
