Sad history of how people can minimize people get how beautiful that others will not forget how precious all people are

I was really surprised by the information about the history of Upper Arlington, Ohio. I work in the area and now I understand how/why the streets run the way they do and who many of the streets are named after

This is the history of my own family. We thought some of it was known, and Ms Runyon was written a warm, insightful, and informative story for even those that thought they knew the history of this very influential Black family.

Very helpful information while researching my genealogy subjects. Thanks to both authors!!

Had to return and buy hard copy.
