"Thomas s work is essential reading... succeeds in providing a
bridge of information on the social, political, legal, and economic
development of the Detroit black community between the turn of the
century and 1945." Michigan Historical Review
The black community in Detroit developed into one of the major
centers of black progress. Richard Thomas traces the building of
this community from its roots in the 19th century, through the key
period 1915-1945, by focusing on how industrial workers, ministers,
politicians, business leaders, youth, and community activists
contributed to the process."
