Infos

The Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act of 2007 called for review and reinvestigation of "e;violations of criminal civil rights statutes that occurred not later than December 31, 1969, and resulted in a death."e; The U.S. Attorney General's review observed that date, while examining cases from 1936 (a date not specified in the Till Act) onward. In selecting violations for review, certain "e;headline"e; cases were included while others meeting the same criteria were not considered. This first full-length survey of American civil rights "e;cold cases"e; examines unsolved racially motivated murders over nearly four decades, beginning in 1934. The author covers all cases reviewed by the federal government to date, as well as a larger number of cases that were ignored without official explanation.
