On this day in 1967 the Detroit Riots began and were among the bloodiest in American history. The strife occurred during a period of Detroit’s history when the once-affluent city was struggling economically, and race relations nationwide were at an all-time low. Explore a timely, Free and Open Access book for this summer's reading. https://lnkd.in/eEvXGDzi Hurt, Baby, Hurt takes a personal look at the Rebellion from the perspective of William Walter Scott, III. The Rebellion began when police raided an unlicensed drinking club owned by Scott’s father and continued for five days, resulting in forty-three deaths and even more injuries, fires, and arrests. Scott, who was just 19 at the time and working as a doorman at his father’s club, is widely recognized as the man who started the Rebellion by throwing a bottle at one of the police officers. This memoir recounts Scott’s life from his birth up through the Rebellion. It tells the story of how the Rebellion started and provides an on-the-ground account of the Rebellion and its immediate aftermath, including the police detainment of the people involved. Now with a new foreword by Austin McCoy that considers the lasting impact of the rebellion, Hurt, Baby, Hurt offers valuable insight into an important part of Detroit history. Do you see parallels to today? #Discover #Explore #MUSE Thanks! University of Michigan Press

At a time when accessibility of ebooks is at the top of mind for libraries and presses, think back to the challenges of 19th century raised-print publishing when the Bible required space for 15-20 large volumes on any blind reader's shelf. I love this book, open access and (of course) Benetech certified fully accessible here: https://lnkd.in/gsKT5g_j
