Reardon of the Chicago Tribune wrote a very interesting feature on the tiny town of Covert (just south of South Haven) where whites and blacks have lived, studied, worked, played, prayed and died together in equality and, for the most part, harmony for 140 years. The town is the subject of "A Stronger Kinship: One Town's Extraordinary Story of Hope and Faith" by historian Ann-Lisa Cox.
