Description

Book release of Your Children Are Very Greatly in Danger, by veteran journalist Justin Murphy This greatly anticipated book from Rochester's own Justin Murphy draws on never-before-seen archival documents as well as scores of new interviews to show how discriminatory public policy and personal prejudice combined to create the racially segregated education system that exists in the Rochester area today. Your Children Are Very Greatly in Danger is a history of Rochester with clear relevance for today. The struggle for equity in Rochester, like in many northern cities, shows how the burden of history affects the present. A better future for these cities requires grappling with their troubled pasts. Murphy's account is a necessary contribution to twenty-first-century Rochester. We are thrilled to offer two dates to hear Justin Murphy discuss his book, as well as a book signing. This event is intended for an adult audience. Click here to purchase your book in advance! Learn more about Justin Murphy here
