Riveting in its moment-by-moment detail, Blood Justice meticulously reconstructs the story of one of the last lynchings in America. In Poplarville, Mississippi, in 1959, a young black man named Mack Charles Parker, charged in the rape of a white woman, was abducted from his jail cell by a white mob, beaten, carried across state lines, and ultimately shot.
