Anatomy of a hustle : cable comes to South Central L.A.

The time was 1979. The place was Los Angeles, the city of Angels. The new innovation was cable television--and it was going to change everything. Carl and Clinton Galloway were young, black professionals, a doctor and an accountant, who realized that the power of cable television could transform lives. During the next ten years, the brothers' efforts to improve South Central Los Angeles involved such people as America's most famous black politician and the world's richest man. Anatomy of a Hustle is the untold account of two brothers who tried to make a difference in Los Angeles' poorest community. From the back rooms of City Hall to the Supreme Court of the United States, here is the story of the Galloway boys' struggle to bring the latest technology to the Los Angeles citizens who needed it most. Along the way they learn that there are no angels in city hall ... unless you own a politician. -- Cover, p. [4]
