Dept. of History's Alumni Book Discussion

6:30 pm - 8:00 pm - Sierra Hall (SH) Room 451, Whitsett Room
http://blogs.csun.edu/news/2009/10/19/jazz-age/#more-1316

Cal State Northridge history professor Tom Devine will lead a discussion of Kevin Boyle’s award winning book, “Arc of Justice: A Saga of Race, Civil Rights and Murder in the Jazz Age.”

“Arc of Justice” is the story of Ossain Sweet, an African-American doctor who came to national attention in 1925 when he was tried for murder after attempting to defend his newly purchased home in a predominantly white neighborhood of Detroit. An unruly mob was trying to force Sweets and his family out. Boyle, a history professor at Ohio State University, won the National Book Award for non-fiction and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award for his work, which explores Sweet’s trail against the backdrop of the Jazz Age and the nascent civil rights movement.
