Summary
Provides a portrait of Pittsburgh's black community and its vital additions to the story of black America. It depicts how Southern migrants were drawn to a steel-making city on a strategic river junction; how they were shaped by its schools and Gilded Age spirit of commerce; and how their world was destroyed by industrial decline and urban renewal. 2018
