In 1958, the 22-year-old black man was shot and killed while running from a pair of uniformed Milwaukee policemen.

The Bell incident forms the basis of a compelling and, for the most part, engrossing play, AN AMERICAN JOURNEY.\" Rugg, Variety \"Kermit Frazier's and John Leicht's AN AMERICAN JOURNEY is a piece of fine playwriting ... the play is an effective and moving piece of drama.\" -Jay Joslyn, Milwaukee Sentinel ..\". authors Kermit Frazier and John Leicht  bring] forth a model of clarity and condensation that is all the more notable for its power to move us.\" -Nels Nelson, Philadelphia Daily News \"AN AMERICAN JOURNEY, a provocative play that rings with awareness of American life as people are actually living it today.\" -William B Collins, The Philadelphia Inquirer \"The play creates a haunting portrait of a transient country in which many characters, both black and white, seem unable to settle down in one place.\" -Bruce Murphy, Milwaukee \"Playwrights Kermit Frazier (who is black) and John Leicht (who is white) have succeed in fashioning a powerhouse play ... that is ingenious in structure (moving through time with cinematic grace), passionate in content ...\" -Charles Lee, W F L N\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kermit Frazier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadway Play Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881455526\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadway Play Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40242126585971,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_7c4bef87-0470-4b88-89af-3770655e46f8.jpg?v=1657201154","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/an-american-journey-9780881455526","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
