FEATURING THE NOVEL

THE ARC OF JUSTICE:
A SAGA OF RACE, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND MURDER IN THE JAZZ AGE

by

KEVIN BOYLE

President Barack Obama referenced the “Arc of Justice” quote in his speech on the 40th anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“The arc of the moral universe is long,
But it bends toward justice...”

                                                                 Theodore Parker, c. 1850
