Summary

"Can't get no satisfaction is a first-hand insight into the civil rights struggle in the 1960s by a then first year law student seeking racial equality in Northern Florida. A rape case and a 'suicide' are two breath-taking cases that dramatically reveal the racial injustice at the time and the issues that still exist today. The lessons learned are vibrant today and the author goes into great detail on little known facts about the history of slavery, the violence against blacks since revolutionary times, through the pre- and post- civil war times and through the 1960s and modern times"--Provided by publisher
