Getting Away with Murder: The Twentieth-Century Struggle for Civil Rights in the U.S. Senate
Vanessa A. Holloway

Getting Away with Murder argues that constitutional defenses for these proposals were merely excuses for Southern Democrats’ racist attitudes toward black Americans and for giving private citizens a license to murder.
