Here Lies Jim Crow: Civil Rights in Maryland

C. Fraser Smith has made a very important contribution to the knowledge and understanding of the Civil Rights struggle in Maryland. This book could serve as a textbook for a high school history honors class or college history class. But its readability takes it far beyond the textbook category. Very well written. More Americans, regardless of their race or ethnicity need to to understand what a long and arduous struggle it has been to "implement change" in improving rights for blacks. This book explains that struggle largely within the context of the State of Maryland's own story.
