The Kennedys interweave the trial of the victimized son (accused of assaulting the offending officer) with the mother's poignant letters in his defense and her remembrances of growing up in the 1940s, when her parents were striving \"to make Cleveland a better place for Negroes\". They have created a gripping examination of the conflicting realities of the black experience in twentieth-century America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8.49 x 5.36 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 1996\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771598668064,"sku":"9781559361262","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0ba3bb29a9719fef4f99d391ef03df98.webp?v=1780389207","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/sleep-deprivation-chamber-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
