Kelly Miller (July 18, 1863 – December 29, 1939) was an American mathematician, sociologist, essayist, newspaper columnist, author, and an important figure in the intellectual life of black America for close to half a century. He was known as "the Bard of the Potomac". He was critical of racially biased policing, saying in 1935 that police violence harmed community trust: "Too often the policeman's club is the only instrument of the law with which the Negro comes into contact. This engenders in him a distrust and resentful attitude toward all public authorities and law officers" CONDITION The book is in VERY GOOD to VG+ antiquarian condition. Colorful cloth. Square binding with form hinges and joints. Sun darkening to spine. Some rubbing to extremities, including joints, edges, spine tips and corners.
