À propos de cet audio

 The year is 1906, and America is segregated. Hatred and discrimination plague the streets, the classroom, and the courts. But in WashingtonD.C., Ben Corbett, a smart and courageous lawyer, makes it his mission to confront injustice at every turn. He represents those who nobody else dares defend, merely because of the color of their skin. When President Roosevelt, under whom Ben served in the Spanish-American war, asks Ben to investigate rumors of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in his home town in Mississippi, he cannot refuse.

The details of Ben's harrowing story--and his experiences with a remarkable man named Abraham Cross--were passed from generation to generation, until they were finally recounted to Alex Cross by his grandmother, Nana Mama. From the first time hear heard the story, Alex was unable to forget the unimaginable events Ben witnessed in Eudora and pledged to tell it to the world. Alex Cross's Trial is unlike any story Patterson has ever told, but offers the astounding action and breakneck speed of any Alex Cross novel.

I am hoping that this is level of bigotry and hatred for white people against Negroes no longer exists to this degree. Unfortunately even educated citizens can be made to believe that one person’s “just cause” can sway them to back unlawful, heinous acts.

The hatred for the Negro residents and how the white perpetrators seemed to always get away with their unlawfulness.

This story was a great piece of writing. It has heart wrenching to hear…although fiction, it’s scary to know the truth behind the facts. Excellent read/listen!
