In 1958, the 22-year-old black man was shot and killed while running from a pair of uniformed Milwaukee policemen. In the late 1970s, one of the former police officers came forward and admitted the shooting incident was not self-defense and that there was a cover-up that spread from the Milwaukee Police Department to the office of the district attorney. That disclosure launched a criminal trial and subsequent civil suit by the family of the slain man. The Bell incident forms the basis of a compelling and, for the most part, engrossing play, AN AMERICAN JOURNEY.\" Rugg, Variety \"Kermit Frazier's and John Leicht's AN AMERICAN JOURNEY is a piece of fine playwriting ... the play is an effective and moving piece of drama.\" -Jay Joslyn, Milwaukee Sentinel \"... authors Kermit Frazier and John Leicht [bring] forth a model of clarity and condensation that is all the more notable for its power to move us.\" -Nels Nelson, Philadelphia Daily News \"AN AMERICAN JOURNEY, a provocative play that rings with awareness of American life as people are actually living it today.\" -William B Collins, The Philadelphia Inquirer \"The play creates a haunting portrait of a transient country in which many characters, both black and white, seem unable to settle down in one place.\" -Bruce Murphy, Milwaukee \"Playwrights Kermit Frazier (who is black) and John Leicht (who is white) have succeed in fashioning a powerhouse play ... that is ingenious in structure (moving through time with cinematic grace), passionate in content ...\" -Charles Lee, W F L N\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751338180896,"sku":"9780881455526","price":22.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0932527a2b6d7f21da4c4a0bfbd612ec.webp?v=1779971171","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/an-american-journey-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
