Freedom's Ballot: African American Political Struggles in Chicago from Abolition to the Great Migration
Margaret Garb
In the spring of 1915, Chicagoans elected the city's first black alderman, Oscar DePriest. This book tells the history of three generations of African American activists - the ministers, professionals, labor leaders, clubwomen, and entrepreneurs - who transformed twentieth-century urban politics.
