Right to Ride: Streetcar Boycotts and African American Citizenship in the Era of Plessy v. Ferguson
Blair L. M. Kelley begins Right to Ride by reminding readers that in 1956, when Martin Luther King Jr. and the other bus boycott leaders were arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, they were unaware that the law they were charged with violating had been created in 1903 as an attempt to suppress streetcar boycotts in Montgomery. By pointing out the historical amnesia of King and his fellow protestors, Kelley forges another link in the long civil rights …

African Americans Versus the Memphis Street Railway Company: Or, How to Win the Battle but Lose the War, 1890-1920
The traditional interpretation of the southern justice system is that African Americans rarely, if ever, won. This article examines a seemingly anomalous situation in Memphis in which at the turn of the twentieth century, African Americans successfully sued the Memphis Street Railway Company for personal injury and racial insult. African American working-class men and women were often financially compensated for physical injuries, while African A…
Prophets of Rage: The Black Freedom Struggle in San Francisco, 1945-1969
Reading Prophets of Rage reminds one of the debt historians of African American urban history owe Allan H. Spear's classic Black Chicago: The Making of a Negro Ghetto (1967), one of the finest studies of the development of an “inner” city up to that time. Unfortunately, in many ways much of African American urban history has not yet gone beyond this groundbreaking work. Although Daniel Crowe is writing about the San Francisco Bay area, starting w…

Intra-Group Differences among Afro-Americans in the Rural North: Paulding County, Ohio: 1860-1900
Afro-Americans like other ethnic groups in the United States often consist of divergent sub-groups. This study attempts to bring a clearer understanding of Afro-Americans by viewing them in terms of their sub-groups and not as a whole people. These sub-groups were formed on the basis of birthplace and skin color and can be seen as predictors of certain socio-economic characteristics. For too long many scholars have tended to view Afro-Americans a…
