Arc of Justice by Kevin Boyle is subtitled A Saga of Race, Civil Rights, and Murder in the Jazz Age. It is the story of a sensational murder trial that divided a city and ignited the Civil Rights struggle. In the Roaring Twenties neon lit the night and jazz played all around. Ossian Sweet, a young physician, arrived from the South, alone in Detroit. Speakeasy's and factories surrounded him. He brought with him his dreams and could not have imagined how they would come to fruition with a thriving practice and loving wife. He also could not have imagined a murder indictment that would lead to his fight to save his life and legacy, put he and his wife in prison, and bring the famous Clarence Darrow to defend them. The book is also an exploration of America in 1925, The Civil Rights movement and the formation of an organization called the NAACP. It is an unforgettable true story.
