The story of one crusading lawyer’s incredible mission to achieve justice and issue a call to action for Americans to begin living up to the promise to protect the rights of its citizens equally and without question—now revised with a new chapter on immigration.

GENOCIDE—THE INTENT TO DESTROY IN WHOLE OR IN PART, A GROUP OF PEOPLEIn Open Season, award-winning attorney Ben Crump exposes a heinous truth: Whether with a bullet or a lengthy prison sentence, America is killing black people and justifying it legally. While some deaths make headlines, most are personal tragedies suffered within families and communities. Worse, these killings are done one person at a time, so as not to raise alarm. While it is much more difficult to justify killing many people at once, in dramatic fashion, the result is the same—genocide.Taking on such high-profile cases as George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and a host of others, Crump has witnessed the disparities within the American legal system firsthand and learned it is dangerous to be black in America—and that the justice system indeed only protects wealthy white men. In this enlightening and enthralling work, he shows that there is a persistent, prevailing, and destructive mindset regarding colored people that is rooted in our history as a slave-owning nation. This biased attitude has given rise to mass incarceration, voter disenfranchisement, environmental injustice, unequal educational opportunities, disparate health care practices, job and housing discrimination, police brutality, and an unequal justice system. And all mask the silent and ongoing systematic killing of people of color.It is time for a reckoning, Crump argues. And it starts here and now.
