| Publisher Description: In Austin Boulevard: The Invisible Line between Two Worlds, Jeff Ferdinand uses Austin Boulevard - a street dividing the suburb of Oak Park, Illinois and the neighborhood of Austin, located on the West Side of Chicago - to illustrate the divide he sees between black and white, rich and poor, privileged and unprivileged. Jeff's personal experiences living on Austin Boulevard has given him a passion to learn about the history of African Americans and race relations in the United States. Using many resources, he has gathered together information to help the reader gain a new perspective on this complex issue and by doing so has given hope to imagine a more tolerant and compassionate America. |
