The last of the Scottsboro boys

In 1931, in a notorious miscarriage of American justice, nine black youths (aged 13 to 19) were convicted of raping two white girls on a freight train near Scottsboro, Alabama. With the help of the NAACP and ""communist"" Legal Defense Fund lawyers, their trials, retrials, and appeals went on for years while the Scottsboro Boys waited on death row. Now with the help of writer Washington, Clarence Norris, the last survivor, tells the story of his youth, his three trials and convictions, his 15 years behind bars (five on death row), and the life he made for himself when he finally jumped the parole confining him to Alabama slavelabor, constant harassment, and sure trouble.
