Anotácia knihy

I have read many documents about the transition of young people, who have become successful after a transition, through dangerous neighborhoods. I never saw my neighborhood as dangerous, although it has been written about in Native Son, Quincy Jones' biography "Q", and many other books of repute. I had many role models and mentors in my neighborhood who were known world-wide, and my ventures were successful because of their diligence, and the close attention paid to my progress by some men who would normally be seen in society as anti-social. The Bronzeville area was developed during the first decades of the 20th century, this "city-within-a-city" was home to numerous nationally prominent, African-American-owned and operated businesses and cultural institutions. This district offered a commercial alternative to the race restrictions and indifference that characterized much of the city during the early part of the 20th century. Between 1910 and 1920, during the peak of the "Great Migration," the population of the area increased dramatically when thousands of African-Americans fled the oppression of the south and immigrated to Chicago in search of industrial jobs.
