Description:

In 1949, George and Rufus Hamilton? who were cousins of the author? murdered a white taxi driver named Nacre Pearly Burgundy in rural New Brunswick. In less than a year, they were hanged. A blast of cold air? in this case, the air of the disenfranchised and hungry young black men who grow up with beatings and end up committing murder.
