Fine in Near Fine jacket. Book. 10 1/4h x 7 1/4w. A real nice clean unmarked 626 page first edition hardcover with 1 low in number line. Has a 12 page photo section. In their first great migration to Chicago that began during World War I, African Americans came from the South seeking a better life--and fleeing a Jim Crow system of racial prejudice, discrimination, and segregation. What they found was much less than what they'd hoped for, but it was much better than what they'd come from--and in the process they set in motion vast changes not only in Chicago but also in the whole fabric of American society.
