A New Deal for Bronzeville

During the "Great Migration" of the 1920s and 1930s, southern African Americans flocked to the South Side Chicago community of Bronzeville. The area soon became the epicentre of community activism as workingclass African Americans struggled for equality in housing and employment. Lionel Kimble Jr. demonstrates how these struggles led to much of the civil rights activism that occurred from 1935 to 1955 in Chicago.
