A review by joelmk
The Silence of Our Friends by Mark Long, Jim Demonakos

Long gives us an account of the Civil Rights movement in his part of Texas. The knee jerk reaction to this book would be to see it as a whitewashed version of the Civil Rights. This is a story about being in community with one another and having each other’s backs. The Silence of Our Friends is story about falling short of being a good ally and a story about forgiveness.
