Product Description
In 1963, Birmingham, Alabama was the site of cataclysmic racial violence. This tumultuous period in Birmingham's history is the centerpiece of this intense and affecting memoir. Capturing the events and essence of this tragic summer, Hemphill goes on to explore the depth of social change in Birmingham in the years since--even as he tries to come to terms with his family, and with himself.
