My title is taken from this book, of course. There is a fifty-page essay in this book that was written from a paid interview given by the murderers. I spoke with Emmett’s mother recently about this essay, and she disputed some of the statements they present as fact. She said that her son had such a serious stammer that it would have been impossible for him to have spoken the words put into his mouth by the killers. She also ridiculed the idea that Emmett would have bragged of sleeping with white women. She said that he was an innocent child who had slept with no one, and that there were no white girls or women in their lives for him to have slept with in any case. This book is out of print.
