Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. An illuminating portrait of Baltimore in the aftermath of the April 2015 death of Freddie Gray . . . Readers will be enthralled by this propulsive account.Publishers Weekly FINALIST FOR THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LIBRARY JOURNALFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Other Wes Moore and governor of Maryland, a kaleidoscopic account of five days in the life of a city on the edge, told through eight characters on the front lines of the uprising that overtook Baltimore and riveted the world When Freddie Gray was arrested for possessing an illegal knife in April 2015, he was, by eyewitness accounts that video evidence later confirmed, treated roughly as police loaded him into a vehicle. By the end of his trip in the police van, Gray was in a coma from which he would never recover. In the wake of a long history of police abuse in Baltimore, this killing felt like the final strawit led to a week of protests, then five days described alternately as a riot or an uprising that set the entire city on edge and caught the nation's attention. Wes Moore is a Rhodes Scholar, bestselling author, decorated combat veteran, former White House fellow, and CEO of Robin Hood, one of the largest anti-poverty nonprofits in the nation. While attending Grays funeral, he saw every stratum of the city come together: grieving mothers, members of the citys wealthy elite, activists, and the long-suffering citizens of Baltimoreall looking to comfort one another, but also looking for answers. He knew that when they left the church, these factions would spread out to their own corners, but that the answers they were all looking for could be found only in the city as a whole. Moorealong with journalist Erica Greentells the story of the Baltimore uprising both through his own observations and through the eyes of other Baltimoreans: Partee, a conflicted black captain of the Baltimore Police Department; Jenny, a young white public defender whos drawn into the violent center of the uprising herself; Tawanda, a young black woman whod spent a lonely year protesting the killing of her own brother by police; and John Angelos, scion of the citys most powerful family and executive vice president of the Baltimore Orioles, who had to make choices of conscience hed never before confronted. Each shifting point of view contributes to an engrossing, cacophonous account of one of the most consequential moments in our recent history, which is also an essential cri de coeur about the deeper causes of the violence and the small seeds of hope planted in its aftermath.
