African-Americans migration into Chicago's West Neighborhoods
Published by TJOswego , 5 years ago
I grew up in the Chicagoland area during the 50s/60s. This book is very interesting and informative. The Austin, Lawndale and Garfield Park neighborhoods racial and ethnic backgrounds changed a lot, resulting in what some call "White Flight". Fascinating look at how Chicago evolved.
