Across the Color Line: Reporting 25 Years in Black Cincinnati

Across the Color Line: Reporting 25 Years in Black Cincinnati presents newspaper reporter Mark Curnutte's stories published in The Cincinnati Enquirer over a twenty-five-year period beginning in 1993. With hard-won insights gained from years of community reporting, Curnutte describes experiences of African-Americans living in Cincinnati through individual and neighborhood profiles, explorations of community institutions, historical perspectives, and issue stories. The anthology tells a sweeping narrative of a city suffering and maturing through turn-of-the-century racial growing pains and increased racial sophistication and diversity. These stories are complimented by excerpts from Curnutte's personal journal, providing his reflection on his role as a white man and reporter making the intentional decision to work and live across the color line.
