Mississippi Trial: 1955 Emmett Till Mississippi Trial: 1955 by Chris Crowe

16-year-old Hiram hasn't been to his old home in Mississippi for years, finally his father gives him permission to go back there and visit his grandfather. However, soon after he arrives trouble begins to brew. He meets a young black boy about his age named Emmett Till who he soon becomes friends with. However, shortly after befriending him, Emmett is found dead, and Hiram suspects that he might have a clue as to who killed him. As a result, he is thrust into the madness of the trial, where he may have to provide evidence against people he's known for years.

Not only is this true story extremely fun to read, but it also teaches in a meaningful way the evils of racism and segregation. This book is a fun read for all ages that will also teach important values that every American should try to live by.
