He wants to register to vote. At first the clerk is confused. Never before in the town's history had a Negro displayed such arrogance. The clerk tries to discourage him, but the old man is adamant. A few days later they pull his body from the river, a gaping wound in his head. Only a few years earlier, this incident would have gone practically unnoticed in Ashton. But that time has passed. Phil Arrow, a young newspaperman, demands a full measure of justice from the people of his town.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Milner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0875656528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780875656526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Christian University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Jay Milner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48435711148287,"sku":"9780875656526","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31f39679-1f8d-409f-b214-1d3e30fc9ece.jpg?v=1777152193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/incident-at-ashton-jay-milner-9780875656526","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
