business. - Ask what you can give. Stuck Is Not a Four-Letter Word

Revere, Mississippi, with its population of "20,000 and
sinking," is not unlike most Southern towns in the 1960s. Blacks
live on one side of town and whites on the other. The two rarely
mix. Or so everyone believes. But the truth is brought to the
forefront when Critter, who is only ten, black and barely tall
enough to see over the dashboard, drives Billy Ray--wounded in a
suspicious hunting accident--to the segregated Doctor's Hospital.
Dr. Cooper Connelly, the town's most high-profile resident, assures
Billy Ray's family he'll be fine. He dies, however, and most people
assume it is just a typical hunting accident--until the sheriff
orders an investigation.
Suddenly the connections between white and black are revealed to
be deeper than anyone expects, which makes the town's struggle with
integration that much more complicated and consuming. Dr. Connelly
takes an unexpectedly progressive view toward integration; the
esteemed Dr. Reese Jackson, who is so prominent that even "Ebony"
has profiled him, tries to stay above the fray. At times, it seems
the town's only distraction is the racially ambiguous Madame Melba,
a fortune-teller and "voyeur" with a past.
With endearing, fully realized characters and a mystery that
will keep readers guessing until the final page, "The Air Between
Us" will keep you engrossed until the end.

appeared in the 1983 Blacks in Museums Directory.
The story of Gabriel Sunday Tenabe, the Nigerian born artist who
