Tragedy on Trial

Part 1

Thurs, Feb 15 @ 7 p.m.
Trabant University Center Theater
 

Ron Collins' new book Tragedy on Trial reveals as never before the entire and shocking story of the 1955 trial of Emmett Till's murderers. Based on extensive research, and accompanied by photos of the trial, the brisk narrative brings the story alive, revealing all its manipulations of justice.

Collins offers an original and in-depth account that highlights the fearless efforts of Mamie Till and the courageous friends and family who testified. Collins also uncovers the truth behind the widely read 1956 Look magazine story, correcting falsehoods that persist to this day.

This event will be a panel discussion with the author, moderator, and local community panelists, including Fleur McKendell (Central Delaware NAACP), Ivan Henderson (Delaware Historical Society & Mitchell Center for African American Heritage), and Cornelius Berry (Ezion-Mount Carmel UMC).

      • Copies of the book will be sold by the University of Delaware Bookstore.
      • RSVP FOR FEB 15
