Overview
MEMOIR Jackson delivers a book that's a testimonial to the importance and power of determination, dreams, family, and love. [...]it recounts significant milestones in Jackson's trials and triumphs on her journey to becoming the first Black woman U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Historian and award-winning writer Shetterly (The Americano: Fighting with Castro for Cuba's Freedom) adds a significant contribution to the literature on this topic by adeptly using public files, including video, intensive in-depth interviews with more than 70 people, and FBI and court records from state and federal trials spanning 1979 to 1984. All-white juries acquitted KKK and ANP members of charges of murder, conspiracy, and civil rights violations.
