In The Streets Of Vinegar Hill

William A. James Sr. has done it again. He delves into the emotional side of why Vinegar Hill, a 20-acre-tract, was deemed an unbearable slum, and had to be destroyed immediately in 1963. Everything wrong with Charlottesville was blamed on the innocent inhabitants of the ?Hill.' When three notorious hoodlums killed a UVA student, and Gabe Owens informed on them, most of the City Council and the UVA President swung into action. They masterminded a plan to demolish the homes and businesses of all Blacks on the ?Hill,? for the crimes of one or two people. The above were helped along by the actions of three ?racist? police officers who had murdered William Griot, to keep him from divulging the secret that they were actually Blacks. This novel is intriguing, mysterious, spiritual, and down-home soulful all at once.James, William, Sr. is the author of 'In The Streets Of Vinegar Hill', published 2007 under ISBN 9780595680153 and ISBN 0595680151.
