Sins of survivors / by Joe McClean.

McClean, Joe, (author.). Underwood, Blair, (contributor.).

Summary:

"In 1908 Alabama, precocious young Benjamin Carter brings deadly consequences down upon his father's head when he dares to use a white drinking fountain instead of the 'colored' one. With his fierce and protective older brother Jasper, Ben escapes Alabama, joining the Great Migration to Black Bottom, Detroit's flourishing Black neighborhood. There, the brothers rise from the ashes to become kingpins of this new community, owning businesses, playing politics, and diving into Detroit's violent criminal underbelly. Through their wit and grit, Ben and Jasper establish the Carter dynasty, securing a prosperous future for their families. But heavy are the heads that wear the crowns. Seeing their children come of age--young men and women fueled by ambitions of their own--the brothers clash over which direction to steer the Carter empire"-- Provided by publisher.
