The Other Side of The River

Just finished reading this one and man was it eye opening!! This was a book based on a death of a teenage Afican American boy here where we are living and planting Overflow, Benton Harbor. The book descibes the history and tensions between the "twin cities" St.Joe/BH and some other murders that happened around the time of Eric's death. Though never was the death of Eric ruled a murder, there is much speculation here. This was a great read to give me some understanding of the history and the diverse socio/racial/economical diversity that surrounds us here in this area everyday.
