The Mississippi Delta is not a place I would have picked to live and if you had asked me a few years ago what I knew about the region, it would have been a puzzle since I knew nothing of its history or culture -- I'd never even heard of Emmett Till.

About Susan Klopfer

Margaret Susan Orr Klopfer (1948-2015) writer, pianist, programmer, editor, teacher, wife, mother, world traveler, and civil rights activist, was born in Salem, Oregon and earned a BA in communications from Hanover College and an MBA from Wesleyan. After an early career as an award-winning newspaper journalist and a stint teaching software at the college and professional level, she eventually focused on writing books. Klopfer’s earliest books, about computers, led her eventually to write about her true passion: civil rights. Her four most popular books are the nonfiction works The Emmett Till Book (2005), Where Rebels Roost (2005), and Who Killed Emmett Till (2010), along with a novel, The Plan (2014), inspired by unsolved the murders of Cleve McDowell of Drew, Mississippi and Henry S. Mims of Montgomery, Alabama. At the time of her death, she was working on a second novel in her Civil Rights Mystery Sleuth series, inspired by the alleged kidnapping and murder of Boris Weisfeiler, a Russian immigrant to the United States and a former math professor at Penn State University, as well as Colonia Dignidad, a torture camp in Chile.
