Description

Blue as the Lake is the story of Robert B. Stepto and his ancestors' migration from Washington to Missouri, Chicago to Massachusetts. The family lore careens through American history- meeting a black regiment in World War I; the legendary jazz musician, Coleman Hawkins; and Inabel Burns, pioneering feminist and great granddaughter of slaves. In their attachments to place, these stories claim a multiracial and national heritage. 209/Hardbound/Photographs.
