"South Side Girls renders a fasci-
nating interpretation of the Afri-can American migration. Marcia Chatelain has produced an engag-ing study that challenges histori-ans to re-conceptualize ideas about urban migration, African American reform, and black girls’ thoughts about family and com-munity, consumer culture, and religion.... South Side Girls is an innovative work that illuminates the voices and narratives of a dynamic group of underrepre-sented urban citizens: black
girls." — LaShawn Harris, American

As The Risen Phoenix brilliantly demonstrates, African Americans transformed antebellum freedom struggles into crusades for civil, political, and educational equali-ty.

What is Black History Month?
“Black History Month grew out of Negro History Week, which was established in February 1926 by African-American historian Carter G. Woodson, who founded the Associa-tion for the Study of African-American Life and History.
Expanded in 1976 to a month-long ob-servance, this cele-bration of the con-tributions and achievements of Af-rican Americans was initially designed to encompass the birthday of the abo-litionist orator and journalist Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) on February 14 as well as Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday.”

“Through extraordinary revela-tions and extensive research that Ta-Nehisi Coates has lauded as "brilliant" (The Atlantic), Rothstein comes to chronicle nothing less than an untold story that begins in the 1920s, show-ing how this process of de ju-re segregation began with explic-it racial zoning, as millions of African Americans moved in a great historical migration from the south to the north.” -Publisher

Levine, Robert S. The Lives of Freder-ick Douglass. Cambridge: Harvard UP, 2016. Call number: E449 .D75 L48 2016, Also available as an eBook.
"Frederick Douglass's fluid, changeable sense of his
own life story is reflected in the many conflicting
accounts he gave of key events and relationships
during his journey from slavery to freedom. Never-
theless, when these differing self-presentations are
put side by side and consideration is given individu-
ally to their rhetorical strategies and historical
moment, what emerges is a fascinating collage of
Robert S. Levine's elusive subject. The Lives of
Frederick Douglass is revisionist biography at its
best, offering new perspectives on Douglass the
social reformer, orator, and writer. “ - Publisher
