Review: Levittown: Two Extraordinary Families, One Ruthless Tycoon, and the Fight for the American Dream

Levittown: Two Extraordinary Families, One Ruthless Tycoon, and the Fight for the American Dream Levittown: Two Extraordinary Families, One Ruthless Tycoon, and the Fight for the American Dream by David Kushner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I knew so little about Levittown; there were many such towns, founder Bill Levitt was a racist assuring covenants no longer valid in the United States... This book is the story of a brave family that broke the Levittown color barrier, their supporters, and the enemies that fomented a race riot to unsuccessfully move them out.
