Race Against Time: The Untold Story of Scipio Jones and the Battle to Save Twelve Innocent Men

Investigative journalists and award winning writers Sandra Neil Wallace and Rich Wallace teach us more history we never learned. Scipio Africanus Jones — a self-taught attorney who was born enslaved — leads a momentous series of court cases to save twelve Black men who'd been unjustly sentenced to death. 

A well-researched narrative, rich in historical context, is enhanced by archival photographs and glimpses into the lives of working men and women who sought economic fairness and the protections of the United States Constitution.
