Book excerpt: With unrest around the country and riots in Newark and Detroit, it became known as "the long, hot summer" of 1967. Milwaukee experienced a riot, too, and then became the biggest civil rights story in the nation as a white Catholic priest, along with a bunch of kids from the inner city, conducted marathon marches and demonstrations for an open housing law. It was a defining period, though not the end, of years of civil rights protests in Beertown, USA, against de facto school segregation, discrimination by a private club whose roster included members of the white power structure, and public officials who refused to recognize that a substantial number of people were still outsiders in their own city. Frank Aukofer walks us by the hand through the civil rights struggles in Milwaukee during the 1960s. Possessing all the qualities of a born reporter, he is able to tie up political, religious, social and personal aspects of these times into a complete history.
