Publisher's Synopsis
White police officers killing black men, protesters taking over college campuses, streets, and cities claiming injustice and demanding change. It seems unreal that officers are behaving the way the headlines allege, the events make us feel like the civil rights era has returned with social media and a 24 hour news cycle. Twenty year police veteran and public school teacher, Jerry Wuchte, wrote The Lines that Divide America: Race, Protests, and Police to provide a sensible voice and a needed perspective on the causes of today's civil unrest. Award winning author of the Civil Rights Movement series, David Aretha, explained in a critique that the book is not a right-winger's rant about how the left has ruined the country, but instead an attempt to steer the country in the correct, sensible direction.
