In this brilliant corrective, Black Folk, acclaimed historian Blair LM Kelley restores the Black working class to the center of the American story. Spanning two hundred years-from one of Kelley's earliest known ancestors, an enslaved blacksmith, to the essential workers of the Covid-19 pandemic-Black Folk highlights the lives of the laundresses, Pullman porters, domestic maids, and postal workers who established the Black working class as a force in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Taking jobs white people didn't want and confined to segregated neighborhoods, Black workers found community in intimate spaces, from stoops on city streets to the backyards of washerwomen, where multiple generations labored from dawn to dusk, talking and laughing in a space free of white supervision. As millions of Black people left the violence of the American South for the promise of a better life in the North and West, these networks of resistance and joy sustained early arrivals and newcomers alike and laid the groundwork for organizing for better jobs, better pay, and equal rights. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a History. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Rose, Anika Noni. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=9992378 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=43f3c4c2-035f-4be5-9022-9fa996004a0a&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $z Sample 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1294-1/%7B43F3C4C2-035F-4BE5-9022-9FA996004A0A%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1294-1/%7B43F3C4C2-035F-4BE5-9022-9FA996004A0A%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/43f3c4c2-035f-4be5-9022-9fa996004a0a $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240103010118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD0EF07AAA0511EE99E4BB4527ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
