Was an innocent man wrongly accused of murder? On Apr 26, 1913, thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan prepared to meet friends at a parade in Atlanta, Georgia. But first she quit at the pencil manufacturer where she functioned to get her paycheck. Mary never left the building alive. A black watchman found Mary's body brutally beaten and raped. Police force imprisoned the watchman, nonetheless they weren't satisfied that he was the killer. Then they paid a stop by at Leo Frank, the factory's superintendent, who was both a northerner and a Jew. Spurred on by the marketing frenzy and prejudices of that time period, the detectives made Frank their best think, one whose conviction would soothe the city's anger above the death of a young white gal. The prosecution of Leo Frank was front-page reports for two years, and Frank's lynching is still one of the very most controversial situations of the twentieth hundred years. It grades a turning point in the history of racial and religious hatred in the us, leading directly to the founding of the Anti-Defamation Group and to the rebirth of the modern Ku Klux Klan. Relying on primary source documents and painstaking research, award-winning novelist Elaine Alphin tells the true account of justice undone in the us.
