The Silence of Our Friends af Mark Long
Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

"The Civil Rights Struggle Was Never Black and White"
Houston, Texas 1968
This is an important story, and a very personal story of the author's. In part, it is the story of the "TSU Five" and how a peaceful student protest erupted into unprovoked violence.
