One of them had a gun and shot the teen, Yusuf Hawkins, through the heart. This did not occur in the deep south but the industrial north, in Brooklyn, NY. This book tells the story of the marches that followed on the streets and the drama that followed in the courtroom, and it provides lessons still valid today
