BALLOTS AND BULLETS: BLACK POWER POLITICS -- part 6

AND URBAN GUERRILLA WARFARE IN 1968 CLEVELAND

James Robenalt's Ballots and Bullets: Black Power Politics and Urban Guerrilla Warfare in 1968 Cleveland.

The most important book of 2018.

My family blamed all troubles for African Americans on African Americans.

Not substandard housing, lack of job opportunities, unequal schools, police brutality, etc.

Lakeview Tavern. The nationalist home next door was site of wild shootout, leaving two policemen dead, many severely wounded.
