Reviews
"Seletzky's great credit that she explores the depths of her father's story with love, hope and critical realism."
"While Seletzky keeps the focus on her father's story, his experiences and observations make intriguing contributions to the MLK assassination canon."
"Seletzky's approach is nuanced, weaving her father's story and its many loose threads into her own ..."
"The result is a nuanced and insightful look at the complex spaces African Americans have navigated in the pursuit of racial justice."
