Description:

Henrietta Buckmaster and other members of the executive board of the Committee for Equal Justice acknowledged defeat in the case. “Although the struggle to secure justice for Recy Taylor did not succeed in the short term, it was the largest and best organized of many efforts to draw attention to the ruthless heart of the racial caste system.” (McGuire, p. 46)
