On June 7, 1998, James Byrd Jr., a fortynineyearold black man, was walking home from a party when three white men in a pickup truck offered him a ride. They drove Byrd out to a lonely country road, tied him to a logging chain, and dragged him three miles to his death.Joyce King, an awardwinning journalist and native Texan, was assigned to cover the story, which drew international media headlines. In Hate Crime, she provides a chilling recreation of the slaying and the subsequent trials. But she also moves beyond the details of the case to provide insight into the minds of the murderers, and to investigate the Texas prison system in which they developed their virulent racism. King also explores how the town of Jasper, Texas, endured a tragedy that threatened to divide its residents. A firstrate work of reportage, Hate Crime is also a searing look at how race continues to shape life in America.
