This has been on my watch list for months & I‘ve been putting it off because I anticipated how it might make me feel. The injustice & inhumanity are heartbreaking and make me absolutely enraged. The fact that things seem to have changed little for POC since these events shows a lack of social progress that needs addressing immediately. Systems that should protect people are failing them. Who do you turn to when those who should protect you don‘t?
On to book number 2 for #newyearwhodis 👏🏼
I love that you and I love non fiction and reading in the bath tub @Mitch 💙 You did a great job @monalyisha matching me up with her!
My most prolific reading month EVER! I‘ve been sad in Ohio, learnt about hyperbaric chambers, confirmed short stories aren‘t my thing, been transported during my ‘staycation‘ to bird sanctuaries & bible groups in Florida. I loved both true crime books, was less taken with sisters who are serial killers/ spy‘s. I have scenes from A Woman Is No Man that will stay with me a long time and I felt honoured to have spent time with Stephanie. #julyinbooks
pickPolice with incredulous tunnel vision, incompetent lawyers, inappropriate interrogations, aggressive prosecutors, inflammatory tabloid press in the context of a racially charged, near bankrupt city that was waiting to believe this happened. The Netflix mini series, the Ophra interviews and this book - make a great companion set to really understand the stories of the Exonerated Five. Be prepared to shout and cry. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Think I might have missed lunch and am in danger of missing dinner too.. can‘t move - this is such an intelligent, thoughtful re-examine of the case adding voice to the false narrative that follows these men. It‘s making me fiercely angry - I‘m riveted!
Impromptu trip to the seaside yesterday and after an afternoon on the beach, swimming in the sea and eating ice cream, needed to seek out the bookstore before I caught the train home! Bought the tagged book after just watching the Netflix mini series.
pickA gripping and heart-wrenching story!
Rating: 5⭐

Just watched "When they see us" & Oprahs special on Netflix so i have to read this!
This is a Kindle deal today- has been on my TBR for awhile!
An abominable miscarriage of justice that, sadly, could easily happen again today. Five, low income, black teenagers were railroaded by a justice system and public hellbent on a quick resolution to a heinous rape. These kids were coerced into false confessions, even though none of their stories matched or fit the evidence, and spent years in jail before, finally, being vindicated. Check out the documentary on Netflix too. #true #lyricalapril
