By Hands Now Known: Jim Crow's Legal Executioners
Margaret A. BurnhamDr. Robert Greene IIPicked up a copy of Margaret A. Burnham's *By Hands Now Known,* about the legal system and Jim Crow segregation, and I am already saddened a page in.

Rogers Hornsby: A Biography
Jonathan D'AmoreDr. Robert Greene IIUp late reading more of @jonathaneig's magnificent *King: A Biography.* One of the many things the book does well is get across how much MLK sacrificed in his personal and family life for the movement. It's one thing to know about that--it's another to read the details of it.
