Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 0517705060. Remainder dot on bottom page edges, some creasing to head and tail of DJ spine.; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped, B&W illustrations and photos.; 6.25 X 1.75 X 9.5 inches; 501 pages; "The brutal lynching of two young black men in Marion, Indiana, on August 7, 1930, cast a shadow over the town that still lingers. It is only one event in the long and complicated history of race relations in Marion, a history much ignored and considered by many to be best forgotten. But the lynching cannot be forgotten. It is too much a part of the fabric of Marion, too much ingrained even now in the minds of those who live there. In Our Town journalist Cynthia Carr explores the issues of race, loyalty, and memory in America through the lens of a specific hate crime that occurred in Marion but could have happened anywhere."
