Books by George C. Wright

An account of race relations, black response to white discrimination, and the black community behind the walls of segregation in a border town. The title echoes Blyden Jackson's recollection of his childhood in Louisville, where blacks were always aware that there were two very distinct Louisvilles, one of which they were excluded from.

In this investigative look into Kentucky's race relations from the end of the Civil War to 1940, George Wright brings to light a consistent pattern of legally sanctioned and extralegal violence employed to ensure that blacks knew their "place" after the war.
