DEEP DELTA JUSTICE: A Black Teen, His Lawyer, and Their Groundbreaking Battle for Civil Rights in the South
In 1966, a 19 year old Black man named Gary Duncan pulled his car off the road to stop a fight. He was arrested a few minutes later for the crime of putting his hand on the arm of a white child. Rather than accepting his fate, he found Richard Sobol, a 29 year old white attorney. Van Meter portrays how a minor incident brought massive systemic change to the criminal justice system. Photos, some in color.
