SOMETHING MUST BE DONE REVIEWS "A gripping narrative"​ -New York Times​ "A gift to a new generation of readers"​ -The Washington Post "This intimate and candid account.... personalizes politics, jangles nerves and opens minds."​ -Richmond Times-Dispatch "Green's work brims with real-life detail from the journalist's eye and ear and joins the likes of Diane McWhorter's CARRY ME HOME in further developing the dimensions of the South's desegregation struggle"​ -Library Journal "Green feels compelled to stare down her past, and she does so with uncommon humanity."​ -New York 1 News "A potent introduction to a nearly forgotten part of the civil rights movement and a personalized reminder of what it was truly about."​ -Kirkus Reviews, (starred review) "Absorbing. . . . A merger of history both lived and studied."​ -Publishers Weekly "Green has rendered a deeply moving account of historical injustice and a personal search for redemption for her family's role in it."​ -Booklist, (starred review) "A vivid reminder of how things were, not so very long ago."​ -Harvard Magazine
