  • Believing in Cleveland: "Managing Decline in "The Best Location in the Nation

    John N InghamARTICLEJournal of American History2018Cited by: 5

    Cleveland is a quintessential rust belt city. From the late nineteenth century until World War II, it was a key transportation hub, an important center for commerce and industry. Oil refining, steel production, and automotive manufacturing flourished. The city's general affluence was evidenced in gracious mansions that lined Euclid Avenue and other streets, and in world-class cultural institutions. Cleveland's fortunes began to sink after World W…

  • The Business of Black Power: Community Development, Capitalism, and Corporate Responsibility in Postwar America

    John N InghamARTICLEJournal of American History2013

    This valuable and interesting collection of essays deals with what have been relatively neglected aspects of the black power movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

To answer that question the eleven essays in the book attempt to demonstrate that “regardless of disparate outcomes and ven…

  • Building Businesses, Creating Communities: Residential Segregation and the Growth of African American Business in Southern Cities, 1880–1915

    Open AccessJohn N InghamARTICLEThe Business History Review2003Cited by: 16References: 18

    Patterns of residential segregation in late-nineteenth-century southern cities had great influence on the type of African American business that developed. They also affected the relative stability of business enterprise. In neighborhoods with a higher degree of segregation, African American entrepreneurs were able to develop vital businesses that survived the worsening climate of race relations around the turn of the century
