Pulitzer Prize finalist and best-selling author Ben Montgomery joins us for a discussion of his new book about a sensational true story of George Dinning, a freed slave, who in 1899 joined forces with a Confederate war hero in search of justice in the Jim Crow South. This story of mob violence in nearby Simpson County leads to one of the strangest legal episodes in American history and strikes at the heart of racial injustices and unlikely retribution at the turn of 20th century. Drawing on a wealth of never-before-published material, Montgomery resurrects this dramatic, but largely forgotten, story.
