The Lynching by Laurence Leamer
A gripping account of the brutal 1981 murder of a young Black man in Mobile, Alabama and the ensuing criminal investigation and landmark civil lawsuit that exposed and financially crippled a Ku Klux Klan organization. The narrative follows the determined detectives and civil rights lawyers who pieced together evidence, pursued justice for the victim’s family, and secured a multimillion-dollar judgment that dismantled the Klan’s local power, using the courtroom drama to examine racial violence, institutional failure, and the force of litigation in combating organized hate.
