Black Chicago by Allan H Spear
Allan Spear explores here the history of a major Negro community during a crucial thirty-year period when a relatively fluid patter of race relations gave way to a rigid system of segregation and discrimination. This is the first historical study of the ghetto made famous by the sociological classics of St. Clair Drake, E. Franklin Frazier, and others--by the novels of Richard Wright, and by countless blues songs. It was this ghetto that Martin Luther King, Jr., chose to focus on when he turned attention to the racial injustices of the North. Spear, by his objective treatment of the results of white racism, gives an effective, timely reminder of the serious urban problems that are the legacy of prejudice.
Allan H. Spear (1937-2008) was a historian at the University of Minnesota and the author of the groundbreaking book Black Chicago. A native of Michigan City, Indiana, he served nearly thirty years in the Minnesota Senate.
