Three men were dragged from their cells and lynched in front of the cheering crowd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than eighty years later, Warren Read—a fourth-grade teacher, devoted partner, and father to three boys—plugged his mother's maiden name into a computer search engine, then clicked on a link to a newspaper article that would forever alter his understanding of himself. Louis Dondino, his beloved great-grandfather, had incited the deadly riot on that dark summer night decades before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his poignant memoir, Read explores the perspectives of both the victims and the perpetrators of this heinous crime. He investigates the impact—the denial and anger—that the long-held secrets had on his family. Through this examination of the generations affected by one horrific night, he discovers we must each take responsibility for \"our deep-seated fears that lead us to emotional, social, or physical violence.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Minnesota Historical Society Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057185571056,"sku":"9781681341095","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781681341095_p0.jpg?v=1763693152","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781681341095","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
