I was flipping through the bibliography of Jabari Asim's new
book, The N Word, when I saw The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow by
Richard Wormser. I wondered if this could possibly be the
same Wormser who wrote for Gold Medal. Turns out it is. Along
with being an Edgar award winning novelist, he's a very well
respected maker of documentaries, the first of which was
about Allen Pinkerton. He's also written books to go with
some of his films. Has anyone read his biography of
Pinkerton? Jim? How is it?
Anyway, here's an interesting, short bio of Wormser for
anyone who's interested;
