Evanston author and journalist Steve Fiffer (left) and DePaul University educator Adar Cohen discuss their book, Jimmie Lee & James: Two Lives, Two Deaths, and the Movement That Changed America. In the early months of 1965, the killings of two civil rights activists -- Jimmie Lee Jackson and James Reeb -- inspired the Selma-to-Montgomery marches, which became the driving force behind the passage of the Voting Rights Act.  This book tells their story.
