Summary

1. "'Death by Unknown Hands' is how a US coroner would officially record a death by lynch mob. The 1950s was a watershed period for such atrocities in the Deep South ... 'No Death By Unknown Hands' is the simple story, told in all the complexity that is its due and based on true events, of how a brave, gentle, concerned and God-fearing man who ministered to the colored community of Atlanta in the 1950s was accused of the rape of a white woman that never actually took place, was tried for his 'crime' and was executed."--Back cover.
