O knihe

More than forty years ago, Ollie Chandler
was only eighteen years old when he was executed on October
18, 1963. In this memoir, Ollie's brother and author W.C.
Chandler narrates Ollie's short life story that includes
racial discrimination, a miscarriage of justice, and his
untimely death.
Ollie was one of the fourteen
children of John and Leatha Chandler who lived in the rural
community of Clyattville, Georgia. Life was not easy for a
black family living in the south. And for Ollie, life was
even more difficult. Mentally challenged, he wasn't able to
finish school. But at age seventeen, Ollie was arrested for
a murder he said he didn't commit. His Blood Cries Out for
Justice tells the rest of Ollie's story-from his time in
jail to his trial by an all-white jury and his subsequent
death.
A moving tribute, His Blood Cries Out for
Justice pays homage to this young life that was cut short.
It reckons with history while also celebrating one family's
deep love and that family's attempt to make sense of a tragedy.
