Bridging the River of Hatred portrays the career of George Clifton
Edwards, Jr., Detroit's visionary police commissioner whose efforts
to bring racial equality, minority recruiting, and community
policing to Detroit's police department in the early 1960s met with
much controversy within the city's administration. At a crucial
time when the Civil Rights movement was gaining momentum and
hostility between urban police forces and African Americans was
close to eruption, Edwards chose solving racial and urban problems
as his mission. Incorporating material from a manuscript that
Edwards wrote before his death, supplemented by historical
research, Stolberg provides a rare case study of problems in
policing, the impoverishment of American cities, and the evolution
of race relations during the turbulent 1960s. Edwards' vision and
hope for Detroit gives depth to the national view of Detroit as a
symbol of urban decline and offers lessons to be applied to current
social and urban problems.
