New Yorker, Gilbert King, is no stranger to great writing. He covered death penalty and Supreme Court issues for “The New York Times,” and “The Washington Post,” and was a contributor to “Smithsonian.” But in 2013 he hit the pinnacle of his career when he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for outstanding investigative work in a devastating non-fiction book about the dark history of the sunshine state. Sally Bissell reports on “Devil in the Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the Dawn of a new America.”
