BRONZEVILLE: Black Chicago in Pictures 1941-1943

By Maren Stange.
Highly Recommended
This wondrous collection of photographs and writing evokes the rich spirit of Bronzeville, Chicago's black community of the early '40s. Though we are aware of the Harlem Renaissance, it was in Bronzeville that the Deep South's migrants found their northern home. These visual images truly capture life in black Chicago--the prosperity and poverty, the lush and ludicrous, the creative and corrupt. Photographers Russell Lee, Edwin Rosskam, John Vachon, and Jack Delano were employed by the New Deal to photograph black Chicago in a pivotal era. Over 100 full-page b&w historical photos!
