Paperback. Condition: Good. A searing history of life under Jim Crow that recalls the bloodiest and most repressive period in the history of race relations in the United States-and the painful record of discrimination that haunts us to this day. From thePulitzer Prize-winning author of Been in the Storm So Long. "The stain of Jim Crow runs deep in 20th-century America. Its effects remain the nation's most pressing business. Trouble in Mind is an absolutely essential account of its dreadful history and calamitous legacy." -The Washington Post In April 1899, Black laborer Sam Hose killed his white boss in self-defense.
