Arc Of Justice by Kevin Boyle
In 1925, a Negro doctor, Ossian Sweet, was accosted at his Detroit home by a mob of angry white citizens. Shots rang out and a man fell dead: Sweet, or one of his defenders, had accidentally killed a member of the group threatening his life and home. Legendary attorney Clarence Darrow was brought into the fray, transforming Sweet into a controversial symbol of equality. Boyle weaves the investigation and courtroom drama of Sweet's murder trial into an unforgettable tapestry of narrative history that documents the volatile America of the 1920s.| SKU | Unavailable |
