Reed also explores the impact of the fifty thousand black southerners who streamed into the city during the Great Migration of 1916-1918, effectively doubling Chicago's African American population. Those already residing in Chicago's black neighborhoods had a lot in common with those who migrated, Reed demonstrates, and the two groups became unified, building a broad community base able to face discrimination and prejudice while contributing to Chicago's growth and development. Reed not only explains how Chicago's African Americans openly competed with white people for jobs, housing and an independent political voice but also examines the structure of the society migrants entered and helped shame. Other topics include South Side housing, black politics and protest, the role of institutionalized religion, the economic aspects of African American life, the push for citizenship rights and political power for African Americans, and the impact of World War I and the race riot of 1919. The first comprehensive exploration of black life in turn-of-the-century Chicago beyond the mold of a ghetto perspective, this revealing work demonstrates how the melding of migrants and residents allowed for the building of a Black Metropolis in the 1920s"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAfrican Americans$zIllinois$zChicago$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican Americans$xMigrations$y20th century 606 $aMigration, Internal$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aChicago (Ill.)$xRace relations$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aChicago (Ill.)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xMigrations 615 0$aMigration, Internal$xHistory 676 $a305.896/073077311 700 $aReed$b Christopher Robert$0895809 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464905503321 996 $aKnock at the door of opportunity$92084460 997 $aUNINA
