Summary of Jason Wilson's Cry Like a Man

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Estes Wright had a charisma that was hard to miss. He was a fruit picker by trade, and he had a strong sense of self that left a lasting impression on everyone he met. But his conviction was tested when the Great Depression began, and people were suffering regardless of their color.

#2 Estes Wright was a man of courage and conviction. He was not afraid to stand up for what he believed was right, even if it meant going against the status quo.

#3 The story of Estes Wright is a prime example of how black bodies were treated in the Jim Crow South. He was a black man who lived life as if he had every privilege of a white man, and that was unforgivable.

#4 The aftermath of Estes’s murder created panic throughout the black community, and the family was alienated by their neighbors. The police were never charged with a crime.
