Preston Lauterbach tells this story through the life of the South's first black millionaire, an ex-slave named Robert Church. With a compromised fortune gleaned from brothels and gambling houses, Church and his son bankrolled militant civil rights activism, furnished the venues where W.C. Handy invented the blues and built a powerful black political machine. Fighting to redeem themselves and their city, these vice kings clashed with the forces of Jim Crow to create a hotbed of black culture. Brilliantly researched, Beale Street Dynasty evokes a lost world of swaggering musicians, glamorous madams and ruthless politicians. *546 $aEngelsk tekst *599 $a250 kr *650 4$aBlues$_10024500 *650 4$aJazz$_10024700 *650 4$aMusikkhistorie$_10460800 *651 4$aMemphis$_16586000 ^
