Accidental Activist: Justice for the Groveland Four by Josh Venkataraman by Barbara VenkataramanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a journey through the quest to get justice for The Groveland Four and in return, it will give great suggestions on how to champion another cause that is dear to your heart. By reading this, you will discover the details behind a shady past from Florida in the US and how even now you can change the future to not make the same mistakes. Obviously, it will not always go to plan for the author, but his determination will be clearly visible as he struggles to make this a successful quest for restitution for the sins of the past. A very interesting read that will if nothing else educate the reader on some of the murky histories of one part of the United States.
This was not normally the kind of book that I would read, but as I got further into the story I felt myself become invested into the injustice of the events described and knowing that justice really had to be done if today we had any sense of pride. This book is written to describe the story as events happened which avoids the style of writing we find so popular now where the story is told in a few pages. Well written it was easy to understand and feel the frustration and hope that the author was experiencing. Definitely worth a try even if it is not your normal style of book.
