"Central to this book is the chronologically structured presentation of letters (1931-1950) that exhibit an intellectual growth and ability on the part of the defendants to effectively express their thoughts. In addition there is legal correspondence from attorneys and members of Scottsboro support committees. The original grammar, syntax and vernacular of the defendants is maintained"-- Provided by publisher. |
