Chapter 6

This chapter returns to the murder of Henry Morrow and describes in detail what happened and the aftermath among both whites and blacks, with significant attention paid to the Chavis family with whom Henry Morrow had lived.

Tim Tyson was a young boy when all this happened? What are the sources of his information? How reliable is his account, published some 34 years after the event being described?

Tyson seems convinced that the police and justice system failed Henry Morrow and his family, along with the entire black population? Do you agree? Why or why not?

In your own experience, do you see the police and justice system as your friend or your adversary? Upon what experience do you base this assessment?
