In 1972\, when workers in Pottstown\, Penn sylvania\, were digging the foundations for a new development\, the last t hing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill\, the dilapidated neighborhood where immi grant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions a nd sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven &\; Earth Grocer y Store.
