Liberty City February 14, 2008

April Yvette Thompson is the daughter of a Bahamian and Cuban father and an African American mother. As the hope of the '60s and '70s gave way to the riots and disintegration of the '80s, April's family struggled to survive and stay together. Part history and part imagination, 'Liberty City' is her personal story that illuminates the lives of one family through the context of social, cultural and political events.
