A Coretta Scott King and Printz honor book now in paperback. A Wreath for Emmett Until is “A moving elegy,” says The Bulletin.

In 1955 other people everywhere the US knew that Emmett Louis Until used to be a fourteen-year-old African American boy lynched for supposedly whistling at a white girl in Mississippi. The brutality of his murder, the open-casket funeral held by way of his mother, Mamie Until Mobley, and the acquittal of the boys attempted for the crime drew wide media consideration. In a profound and chilling poem, award-winning poet Marilyn Nelson reminds us of the boy whose fate helped spark the civil rights movement.
