Acknowledgments
I would like to thank the elected officials and city staff of Southside for their time and for permission to do the study; I hope they find the study useful. I would also like to thank Herbert Rubin, Charles Levine, Terry Clark, and Gerry Suttles, all of whom have read the manuscript at various stages and made helpful, critical comments. Thanks are due also to James Conway who provided research assistance, particularly on the section dealing with the city's response to the riot in 1968.
