Such a fine read; it weaves people and their stories against the larger backdrop of societal and economic change. Written so expertly that I didn’t notice I’d been reading four full pages without a photo, diagram or map — not even a section title. Honest discussion of tough racial and economic issues.

Thank you for this book.

I'm finding the book quite interesting, although I lived in Oak Park "only" from 1979 until 2020.

thank you. But 41 years qualifies you, I'd say!

Ron Mureson gives you an exceptional review--it certainly whets my appetite. It's great to see you promoting it again—keep up the momentum!
