Deep Delta Justice: A Black Teen, His Lawyer, and Their Groundbreaking Battle for Civil Rights in the SouthThe "arresting, astonishing history" of one lawyer and his defendant who together achieved a "civil rights milestone" (Justin Driver). In 1966 in a small town in Louisiana, a 19 year old black man named Gary Duncan pulled his car off the road to stop a fight.

The "arresting, astonishing history" of one lawyer and his defendant who together achieved a "civil rights milestone" (Justin Driver).

In 1966 in a small town in Louisiana, a 19-year-old black man named Gary Duncan pulled his car off the road to stop a fight. Duncan was arrested a few minutes later for the crime of putting his hand on the arm of a white child. Rather than accepting his fate, Duncan found Richard Sobol, a brilliant, 29-year-old lawyer from New York who was the only white attorney at "the most radical law firm" in New Orleans. Against them stood one of the most powerful white supremacists in the South, a man called simply "The Judge."

In this powerful work of character-driven history, journalist Matthew Van Meter vividly brings alive how a seemingly minor incident brought massive, systemic change to the criminal justice system. Using first-person interviews, in-depth research and a deep knowledge of the law, Van Meter shows how Gary Duncan's insistence on seeking justice empowered generations of defendants-disproportionately poor and black-to demand fair trials. Duncan v. Louisiana changed American law, but first it changed the lives of those who litigated it.

Luxurious feel
Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This blanket is soft and fuzzy. It has a little weight to it so it’s great to snuggle up on the couch with. Double lined makes it feeling luxurious. Haven’t noticed any shedding yet I’ve had it for a month and have washed it a couple times.

amazinggg!!
Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60"), Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
i loveee this blanket. after opening and breaking the air seal i threw it in the dryer for 20 minutes to fluff it up and it's perfect. it's very thick and slightly weighted (3-5 lbs) and super duper stretchy. it's double sided so you can use it facing any way you want. i've never tried either brands but from everything i've seen, this is pretty much an exact duplicate to the lola brand and comfrt brand blankets. i do wish they made more size and color options but other than that i'm obsessed. (for size comparison reference, i have a queen bed!)

Incredibly soft!
Color: Cream, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
I absolutely love this Bedsure blanket! It is incredibly soft right out of the package and feels cozy without being too heavy. The fabric is plush and smooth, making it perfect for lounging on the couch, layering on the bed, or staying warm during chilly nights.

Love this blanket!!!
Color: Cream, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
I absolutely LOVE this blanket!! It is an exact dupe for the “Lola” blanket. One of my friends has one and it feels the same and at just a fraction of the cost! It’s so soft and stretchy. It has such a nice weight to it and is the perfect size. I have already ordered 3 more for gifts this Christmas. I’m surprised this isn’t sold out!
