Wideman's personal interaction with the story began when he learned of Emmetts murder in 1955; Wideman was also fourteen years old. After reading decades later about Louis execution, he couldn't escape the twin tragedies of father and son, and tells their stories together for the first time. Author of the award-winning Brothers and Keepers, Wideman brings extraordinary insight and a haunting intimacy to this devastating story. An amalgam of research, memoir, and imagination, The Louis Till File is completely original in its delivery--an engaging and enlightening conversation between generations, the living and the dead, fathers and sons. Wideman turns seventy-five this year, and he brings the force of his substantial intellect and experience to this beautiful, stirring book, his first nonfiction in fifteen years." -- $c Baker & Taylor. 610 10 $a Till, Louis, $d 1922-1945. 600 10 $a Till, Emmett, $d 1941-1955. 600 10 $a Wideman, John Edgar. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x African Americans $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American soldiers $v Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Company, 177th $b Transportation Command. $b Battalion, 379th. $b Company, 177th $v Biography. 650 0 $a War crimes $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945. 650 0 $a African American men $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Italy $x History $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Biographies & Memoirs. $2 local 655 7 $a History & Culture. $2 local 655 7 $a True Crime. $2 local 655 7 $a Nonfiction. $2 local 941 $a 18 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417013708.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305012856.0 952 $l AWPD207 $d 20230209014302.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211124010039.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722053546.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528062418.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204084720.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110070626.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217015403.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006102321.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171205011902.0 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20170815011803.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20170728030539.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418121036.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20170301012043.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20170121010916.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20161221010403.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20161129024749.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D43E6E24B60211E6ADDB0DB5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
