Black Chicago: Making of a Negro Ghetto, 1890-1920 Book

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 othersâ??by the novels of Richard Wright, and by countless blues songs.
