Ethan's Review

Language
Some curse words: n*****r, d**n, and h**l.
Violence
Murders by the KKK.
Romance
N/A
Drugs
Mentions beer and cigarettes.
Intensity
There is a scene where 3 civil rights workers are murdered.

This was an excellent read for me. It broke my heart to learn how much murder was committed by the KKK in the height of the civil rights movement. This touching tale of true events is a must read for anyone. I definitely recommend this.
