With this powerful, evocative new book, St. Petersburg residents
Jon Wilson and Rosalie Peck present an informative narrative that
explores the history of St. Petersburg, Florida's most vibrant
African American neighborhood: 22nd Street South or ?the deuces.?
Throughout the city's history, no other area has personified
strength for the African American community like this
segregation-era thoroughfare. A haven during the brutal Jim Crow
years, 22nd Street South was a place where prominent businessmen
and community leaders were the role models and residents and
neighbors looked out for one another. The close-knit community
encouraged strong, positive values even as its members were treated
as second-class citizens in the wider world. Authors Wilson and
Peck tell the story of this unique district and how its people and
events contributed to and helped to shape the history of St.
Petersburg in the context of the greater South and the Civil Rights
Movement.
