   Gary Corsair Tells the Tale of the Groveland Four 6/4/04
   ...
   BLOOMINGTON , Ind. - Award-winning journalist Gary Corsair will be on hand in Chicago for BookExpo America 2004. From June 4 through 6, he will be at the AuthorHouse booth signing copies of his shocking expos,, The Groveland Four: The Sad Saga of a Legal Lynching (now available through AuthorHouse).
   
   Corsair delves into the true story of prejudice and violence in a small Florida town that shocked a nation and screamed from headlines across the globe. In July 1949, a 17-year-old white girl reported to police that she was kidnapped and raped by four black men. What followed was an exhibition of corruption, hatred and racism.
   
   Corsair constructed his account by tapping the vivid memories of people who lived through the terrifying nightmares of bloodthirsty mobs and harsh police brutality. His book illustrates the suffering caused by Ku Klux Klan terrorism, lying witnesses and manufactured evidence. The saga concludes in murder at the hands of the same men sworn to uphold the law.
   
   The Groveland Four is the product of exhaustive research into this notorious Civil Rights case, but it is also a forum for the oppressed and accused to tell their tale. Corsair includes exclusive interviews with the only surviving defendant and the relatives of the men who were hanged for a crime they never committed. He also presents information gleaned from dusty legal files and reveals rare insights into the lives of the men who fought to save the accused, while casting doubt on the guilty verdicts returned by all-white juries.
   
   An in-depth account of one of America 's worst racial atrocities, The Groveland Four offers a glimpse into the darkness of the past that has overshadowed a Florida community for more than 50 years.
   
   Corsair won 15 awards during a distinguished newspaper career that featured stints as a reporter, editor and publisher. The newspapers he headed won 24 state and regional awards for excellence. He began as a sportswriter in the 1970s in Indiana before moving to Florida , where he edited a number of papers. In The Villages, Fla. , he won awards for television reporting and served as anchor and news director. He and his family live in Florida , not far from Groveland.
