5.0 out of 5 starsIt's not just about black and white, it's always about black, white & green.
By Sandy on August 27, 2014
Format: Paperback
My (white) grandparents' families had lived in East St. Louis since at least the end of the Civil War, and I heard stories from my grandmother about the riots and her experience seeing Negroes hanging from the light poles. This is probably the first book about the 1917 race riots and it was my first effort to learn more than her stories. Since then I have bought this book several times because it's worth sharing and my friends always fail to return my copies. Since then I've moved on to the Harper Barnes book and am now ordering Lumpkins' American Pogrom which puts the riots in a different setting. But this will always be the place I start in trying to understand St. Louis' dysfunctional racial relationships.
