- Summary:
- This is the story of seven white Mississippi sheriffs immortalized in a horrifically telling 1962 "Life" photograph--and of the racial intolerance that is their legacy. In telling the stories of these men, Hendrickson gives readers an extraordinarily revealing picture of racism in America at that moment.
