Devery S. Anderson, marketing director for Signature Books and author of the book "Emmett Till: The Murder That Shocked the World and Propelled the Civil Rights Movement" , has a conversation with your host Steven Pynakker. The book is the primary basis for the ABC miniseries "Women of the Movement" debuting on January 6th. In the episode we discuss Devery being raised as Baptist and then he and his family converting to the LDS Church. As he began researching the Black priesthood ban, he encountered the story of the murder of Emmett Till. This began an almost 20 year journey which included befriending Emmett's mother, conducting extensive research into the trial and surrounding events, and finally getting his work published and it being optioned in Hollywood. We also get a preview of some upcoming titles that Signature Book will soon be releasing.
