Arc Of Justice: Author Kevin Boyle

http://ipraudio.interlochen.org/KevinBoyle.mp3

In 1920s Detroit a young, black doctor gets married and looks to settle down in a comfortable neighborhood. But after defending his home from mob attack, he ends up on trial for murder. The case exposes the injustice of a system designed to keep black people out of white neighborhoods. But it would take decades more to win the fight against "red lining" and other forms of residential segregation. By then it was too late. Detroit, and cities across the north, remain heavily segregated to this day.
