I just skimmed over most of it again because two weeks is just about my memory limit. Anyway, much of the stuff about the trial I remember from either reading the book or someone telling me, but this really helped flesh it out. But both times I read it I found myself thinking about race in our family history. My childhood was in the 50's when segregation was widely accepted (even by our family) and it's end truly scared many people of conscience. We have slave holders among our ancestors. I don't want to get in to too much, but growing up in our family in the segregated amd post- segregated south was to know the tension between what was morally right but uncharted and what was undeniably wrong but known. That doesn't have much to do with the trial. but it's what it made me think about. I look forward to more. John Hey Billy,
