Third Ward, Newark

by Curtis Lucas

Back Cover (Lion #80 edition):

Wonnie Brown ripened on the filthy, teeming pavements of Newark’s slum – young, beautiful, Negro.

Then Ernie Mihie, white, saw her, wanted her, brutalized her on a lonely road outside the city. After that, not even a bone-aching hunger for love could stop her thrust to revenge.
