Three men were dragged from their cells and lynched in front of the cheering crowd.More than eighty years later, Warren Read--a fourth-grade teacher, devoted partner, and father to three boys--plugged his mother's maiden name into a computer search engine, then clicked on a link to a newspaper article that would forever alter his understanding of himself. Louis Dondino, his beloved great-grandfather, had incited the deadly riot on that dark summer night decades before.In his poignant memoir, Read explores the perspectives of both the victims and the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
