This book goes into excruciating detail about fair housing policies, various laws and hearings around housing policies, etc., all against the backdrop of racial injustice in Baltimore. While interesting, it was just a tad too much, even for someone like me who is from Baltimore and who recognizes the names of most of the attorneys and other \"players\" involved in the drama, which dates back to the 1940\'s (and even the red-lining that occurred long before that). For someone who is not from Baltimore, I can\'t imagine that it would hold the person\'s attention for more than a chapter or two. All of the legal wranglings are interspersed with the stories of two local families -- one white and one black -- who try to swim against the tide of extreme segregation that grips the city and surrounding jurisdictions.
