Howard Kohn presents fascinating portraits of citizens of Prince George's County, Maryland, at key moments of personal challenge, usually involving issues of race. This community is considered a model of integration, and these stories give insight into the true state of race relations since the civil rights era. Back in the innocence of a time when many Americans were eager to bring the races together, a white boy and a black girl fall in love. The boy's father, professing to want the best for his son, breaks up their romance. The years roll forward. Long after the two teenage lovers last saw each other, they reunited. They are still in love, but for them to marry would still cause great family discord. Will history repeat itself? Seller Inventory # 46826
