Two white Milwaukee motorcycle cops pursue and kill a young black man on a bitterly cold winter night in 1959 and, with the help of their superiors, escape detection for twenty years. When at last the truth comes out - first in a confession and then in a groundbreaking civil rights suit brought against the state by the victim's family - many people find their present lives increasingly altered by this event from the past. This includes Milwaukee Times reporter Bob Joseph, mayoral candidate Andy Hedig, Hedig's wife Sarah, lawyer Charlie Simon, the sister of the murdered youth, and many more.

Signed by author David Milofsky directly on the title page; In Color of Law, David Milofsky tells the story of the legal profession's efforts to integrate African Americans into the legal system in the South during the 1930s and 1940s. Milofsky, who has written extensively on the history of the law, paints a nuanced and compelling portrait of the lawyers, judges, and administrators who struggled to overcome institutional, social, and cultural obstacles to the justice and equality that African Americans deserved.Through the stories of these individuals, Milofsky shows how the law played a critical role in the struggle for racial justice. He also provides a valuable perspective on the history of the American legal system, illustrating the ways in which law and legal institutions have shaped and been shaped by the social and political context in which they have operated.; 8vo; Signed by Author.
