After graduation he joined the Minneapolis Police Department, overcoming racial prejudice within its ranks to become his alma mater's resource officer. North High was in rapid decline, a building designed for 1,700 students serving fewer than 200. Once the centerpiece of the community, the school was on the verge of folding. Then something magical happened. Adams stepped in as football coach, and transformed a winless team into state champions. With that success came renewed pride in the school and neighborhood both. As North High began to thrive, Adams was hailed as a model of what a Black man from a Black neighborhood might be. That lasted until Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd, which brought a rain of chaos upon Minneapolis. Working to maintain order in a riotous city, Adams feared for his life on more than one occasion, his relationship to his community forever changed. Twin Cities is the memoir of a divided life: a Black football coach during a time of racial reckoning, and a Black police officer in Minneapolis during the time of George Floyd. It is the story of the space between reality and perception, between law and justice. It is the story of what can happen when a man gives everything to his city in an effort to help kids envision a better future, only to have his city turn on him in response"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Adams, Charles $c (Police) 650 0 $a Police $z Minneapolis $z Minneapolis $v Biography. 650 0 $a Police, Black $z Minneapolis $z Minneapolis $v Biography. 650 0 $a School police $z Minneapolis $z Minneapolis $v Biography. 650 0 $a Football coaches $z Minneapolis $z Minneapolis $v Biography. 651 0 $a Minneapolis (Minn.) $x Race relations. 650 0 $a Racism in law enforcement $z Minneapolis. $z Minneapolis. 650 0 $a Black lives matter movement $z Minneapolis. $z Minneapolis. 650 7 $a Black lives matter movement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01940193 650 7 $a Football coaches. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00931411 650 7 $a Police. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068398 650 7 $a Police, Black. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068738 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Racism in law enforcement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02031398 650 7 $a School police. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01738906 651 7 $a Minnesota $z Minneapolis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204260 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Turbow, Jason, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20231005012249.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20231004010427.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5DA3F61C627B11EE9D8B625031ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
