Description

Comprehensive history of African Americans in Iowa. Published by the IOwa State Historical Society, the book is the result of a 6 year project bringing together the work of 36 committed Iowa scholars- historians, business people, doctors, lawyers, professors, public employees, and students. Three themes connect the 21 chapters: the struggle of black and white Iowans to establish equal rights; the pursuit of individual opportunity in Iowa's economy; and the creation of coherent communities and inclusive culture. Generously illustrated with photographs and well documented with footnotes and extensive bibliography and index. - from Amzon
