REPORTER JERRY MITCHELL, who spent years investigating the most
infamous murders of the civil rights movement, will speak at a
National Press Club HEADLINERS EVENT ON WEDNESDAY, Feb. 19, 2020 about
his upcoming book, _Race Against Time: A Reporter Reopens the Unsolved
Murder Cases of the Civil Right Era._
_Race Against Time_ chronicles Mitchell’s quest to unearth the truth
behind some of the most gruesome and harrowing unsolved murders of the
civil rights era. Mitchell’s reporting is credited with helping to
bring killers to justice for the assassination of Medgar Evers, the
firebombing of Vernon Dahmer, the bombing of the Sixteenth Street
Church in Birmingham, and the murder of three civil rights workers
commonly referred to as the Mississippi Burning case.
This event will take place in the Club’s Zenger Room at 8:30 a.m.,
and will feature a moderated discussion with the author, an audience
question-and-answer session, and a book signing. Doors open at 8:00
a.m. with a light breakfast of coffee, tea, muffins and pastries.
Tickets cost $5 for members of the National Press Club and $10 for the
general public.
Preordered books will be available for pickup and signing at the
EVENT. Attendees will also be able to purchase books at the door.
