Description
by Douglas J. Vrieland (Author)
Imagine African American students from the inner city being bussed to a private school in one of the richest communities in the nation. Imagine residents of a city known nationally as "the poster child of racial segregation" rebelling and calling for open housing. Imagine Dr. Martin Luther King describing "The Other America" to an audience in Detroit's wealthiest suburb eight months after the July 1967 riots. These and other true stories recorded in this historical memoir will give insight and courage to anyone interested in justice for all regardless of race in our current, politically polarized time.
