Bullets rained down on the meeting from outside. Many were killed by a white mob, and others were rounded up and arrested. Twelve of the sharecroppers were hastily tried and sentenced to death. Up stepped Scipio Africanus Jones, a self-taught lawyer who'd been born enslaved. Could he save the men's lives and set them free? Through their in-depth research and consultation with legal experts, award-winning nonfiction authors Sandra and Rich Wallace examine the complex proceedings and an unsung African American early civil rights hero.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974748766496,"sku":"NEW1629798169","price":22.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/race-against-time-the-untold-story-of-scipio-jones-and-the-battle-to-save-twelve-innocent-men-1629798169","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
