Description: The author gives us, with shattering power, the true story of how a good, innocent, "uninvolved" man was killed in back-country Georgia during the Civil Rights turbulence of the mid-Sixties. Lieutenant Colonel Lemuel Penn was black. He was wiped out by hatred -- Klan hatred, cave man hatred, reasonless brute evil. And what crushed him in that year flourishes today, stronger, more arrogant than ever -- a spreading stain on the fabric of the Eighties.
