Baltimore Sun Hand it to your students... and make sure their parents read it, too. It's a road map of America's long political struggle from slavery to a black man running for president. -- Michael Olesker Baltimore Examiner It's a darned good book by a darned good writer. Those of you who love fine writing and history can't afford to pass on Here Lies Jim Crow. -- Gregory Kane Baltimore Sun In this case, you can judge a book by its cover... it sets the tone for Smith's spirited discussion of Jim Crow laws and the efforts of Marylanders to resist and overturn them. -- John Lewis Baltimore Magazine By its very nature a moving but difficult and painful read. Painful or not, it is a book that helps one see present-day Maryland with a greater depth of understanding, and is certainly worth whatever discomfort it creates. -- Petula Caesar Baltimore City Paper Tells the story of the long life and hard death of racial segregation in the Free State. -- Ben Miller Bay Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003ePrologue: Laboring Sons: Jim Crow on a Bulldozer\u003cbr\u003e1.
