Requests:  0 Summary:  June 16, 1944: George Junius Stinney Jr., a 14-year-old Black boy, was strapped into a South Carolina electric chair. He became, and today remains, the youngest person executed in the United States during the twentieth century. Faber explores the events leading to Stinney's death, and explains how a systemically racist system, paired with the personal ambitions of powerful individuals, turned a blind eye to human decency and one of the basic tenets of the American legal system that individuals are innocent until proven guilty. As society continues to grapple with the legacies of racial injustice, Faber reveals how this case is not just a travesty of justice locked in the era of the Jim Crow South but rather one that continues to resonate in our own time. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 323.1196 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.1196 Faber Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.1196 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
