One of our new titles is the Pulitzer Prize winner Devil in the Grove : Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys and the Dawn of a New America by Gilbert King. It’s shelved upstairs in the Reading Room at KF 224.G76 K56.

The author and his book were profiled in the New York Times on April 24, 2013: 

The book, about four black men falsely accused of raping Norma Lee Padgett, a 17-year-old white woman in Groveland, Fla., in 1949, unearthed a largely forgotten chapter in the long history of racial injustice in the United States, and explored, in painstaking detail, the tactics used by Thurgood Marshall, the future Supreme Court justice, to chip away at the foundations of Jim Crow law.
