An Amazon Best Book of January 2023, and called "a unique window onto the anguished search for justice" by Jon Meacham, A Few Days of Trouble is Reverend Wheeler Parker Jr.'s testimony as the last surviving witness to the lynching of Emmett Till. He tells his story with poignant recollections of Emmett as a boy, critical insights into the recent investigation, and powerful lessons for racial reckoning, both then and now. With co-writer Christopher Benson and moderator Dr. Vivian Martin, Reverend Walker will discuss this new work of truth-telling—a gift to those looking to reconcile the weight of the past with a hope for the future.
