Like Judgment Day: The Ruin and Redemption of a Town Called Rosewood by Micheal O' Orsa (?)
Che... I"ve forgotten his last name. I'm reading this for a 5 page+ report my father has assigned me. Not fair. I'm out of school, it's SUMMER! This is sooo wrong.
Anyway, this is a really good book. It provides useful, intriguing information and reads like a novel. BTW Rosewood was a prosperous black town near Gainesville, Florida that was burned down to the ground and its inhabitants slaughtered (by the men of the white town Sumner next to them) after a false charge of rape was issued by a white woman.
There's a movie called Rosewood also, but it's kind of biased. Made the white people seem good. Such lies...

I slightly agree with you. I found Crank to be some what more interesting than Jay's Journal. imo. Go Ask Alice is a great story but it isn't a true story...like they say. It's missing the, "she said...he said" Like in most Journals/diaries it has the that form of writing.
I'm reading 'It happened to Nancy'
