In 1925 Detroit, Michigan a Black family moved into a White neighborhood. A
mob attacked their home with rocks, and one man was killed. 10 men went to trial for first-degree murder. With Clarence Darrow leading the defense, the attorneys and the NAACP had to convince an all-White jury that defending one's home was not a crime, but a right.

Please Be Advised: There's a graphic description of a child's murder
