Real Justice: Jailed for Life for Being Black: The… door Bill Swan

Professional boxer Rubin Carter was jailed for a triple murder. Despite the evidence proving his innocence, he spent nearly twenty years in jail fighting for his freedom. This is a quick read, designed to be a teaching tool for young adults. I have mixed feelings about the effectiveness of the book for a diverse audience.
