Across the Tracks introduces the reader to the businesses and townsfolk who flourished in this unprecedented time of prosperity for Black Americans. We learn about Greenwood and why it is essential to remember the great achievements of the community as well as the tragedy which nearly erased it. However Ball is careful to recount the eventual recovery of Greenwood. With additional supplementary materials including a detailed preface timeline and historical essay Across the Tracks offers a thorough examination of the rise fall and rebirth of Black Wall Street. Across the Tracks not only personalizes and therefore heightens the tragedy we know will come but it also reframes that tragedy. Black perseverance and joy take center stage in a way it seldom does when discussing Greenwood.
