And Justice For All! The Untold History of Dallas
Product description Signed by authors. Review "Dallas remains among the least-studied of American cities, especially by historians. And most accounts read as if they were commissioned by civic boosters.... Roy H. Williams and Kevin James Shay pick up where other historians left off. They argue that whites have made local government work for themselves while systematically excluding African-Americans and other minorities...Their account of Mr. Williams'voting rights suit is fascinating and sobering... And Justice For All is a good start at providing a history of Dallas for everyone...It is an important work." - Craig Flournoy, Journalism professor, SMU, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, The Dallas Morning News "Promising...comprehensive...Succeeds in documenting the ongoing struggle of African Americans in the city for voting rights and equal justice." - W. Marvin Dulaney, History professor, Director,Center for African-American Studies, University of Texas-Arlington, author, Black Police in America "Roy and Kevin rip the covers off thebeauty queen we call Dallas and expose her ugly scars of racism, bigotry,cronyism, and greed. Those who profess to embrace truth cannot remain sedateand silent after reading the often petrifying story of power. This is mustreading for all students and their parents." - Martin W. Burrell, former vice president of public and minority affairs, American AirlinesCenter, former vice president for equal opportunity and minority business, DART
