In 1958, the 22-year-old black man was shot and killed while running from a pair of uniformed Milwaukee policemen. In the late 1970s, one of the former police officers came forward and admitted the shooting incident was not self-defense and that there was a cover-up that spread from the Milwaukee Police Department to the office of the district attorney. That disclosure launched a criminal trial and subsequent civil suit by the family of the slain man. The Bell incident forms the basis of a compelling and, for the most part, engrossing play, AN AMERICAN JOURNEY.\" Rugg, Variety \"Kermit Frazier's and John Leicht's AN AMERICAN JOURNEY is a piece of fine playwriting ... the play is an effective and moving piece of drama.\" -Jay Joslyn, Milwaukee Sentinel \"... authors Kermit Frazier and John Leicht [bring] forth a model of clarity and condensation that is all the more notable for its power to move us.\" -Nels Nelson, Philadelphia Daily News \"AN AMERICAN JOURNEY, a provocative play that rings with awareness of American life as people are actually living it today.\" -William B Collins, The Philadelphia Inquirer \"The play creates a haunting portrait of a transient country in which many characters, both black and white, seem unable to settle down in one place.\" -Bruce Murphy, Milwaukee \"Playwrights Kermit Frazier (who is black) and John Leicht (who is white) have succeed in fashioning a powerhouse play ... that is ingenious in structure (moving through time with cinematic grace), passionate in content ...\" -Charles Lee, W F L N\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kermit Frazier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0881455520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881455526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadway Play Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.22d","brand":"Kermit Frazier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926751805695,"sku":"9780881455526","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0253046d-c36a-4cc1-a520-f62201825b08.jpg?v=1681084813","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-american-journey-kermit-frazier-9780881455526","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
