"Picked this one up on a "help yourself" shelf at a bookstore. It has taken me two years to finally get to it. What timing! A long, sometimes tedious story of the lynching of two Afro=Americans in Marion Indiana in 1930----who did it; why? and why relevant today? Lots of detail on the KKK.....and interesting linkages to Milwaukee and its Afro=American Holocaust Museum (did you know that?).What it did though was to release of flood of childhood memories.....things I had not thought about for years/ever. The issue of racism.....what it meant to the author....and memories of living in what was then Milwaukee;s inner city. A most interesting story....good job by the writer to be so persistent in writing this story."
"This is powerful stuff. Our Town is the result of a year's research Carr does into her own hometown in Indiana, which had a brutal lynching occur 80 years ago. She tries to figure out what really happened and how race relations are there today. She finds definitive answers impossible to find given the amount of time passed and few people willing to share their stories. But she uncovers enough to tell a powerful story of a dark night back in the 30's."
"This is an amazing tale. I didn't love her style (it sometimes read more like a journal of a journalist than like a compiled thesis based on her research)--but I appreciated her points. It rang true. Worth reading."
