About this product
Product Information
Few were more qualified than Dempsey Travis to write the history of African Americans in Chicago, and none would be able to do it with the same command of firsthand sources. This seminal paperback reissue of Travis's best-known work, An Autobiography of Black Chicago, depicts Chicago's African-American community through the personal experiences of Dempsey Travis, his family, and his circle. Starting with Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, who was the first non-Native American to settle on the mouth of the Chicago River, and ending with Travis's own successes leading the city's NAACP chapter, organizing Martin Luther King's first march in the city, and providing equal housing opportunities for black Chicagoans, An Autobiography of Black Chicago is a comprehensive yet intimate history of African Americans in 20th-century Chicago.

Weil, former president, Roosevelt University "Mr. Travis was a Horatio Alger, lift-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps figure who wielded his influence as a liaison between the business community and the political sphere to fight for social justice." -- Chicago Tribune "An invaluable contribution to the written, folk, and oral history of African Americans in Chicago. [ An Autobiography of Black Chicago ] is 'must' reading." -- Margaret Burroughs, Ph.D., Co-Founder, DuSable Museum of African American History "Travis brings real skill to the writing of [ An Autobiography of Black Chicago ]. His prose is lively and witty his historical understanding is deep and well grounded in fact...this is a fascinating book." -- William M. Tuttle, Jr., Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, American Studies, University of Kansas "Those wishing to understand power, authority, and leadership in Chicago will find [ An Autobiography of Black Chicago ] an excellent source book...Interestingly written study of Chicago, not just black Chicago." -- Robert L. Stuhr, Ph.D., former executive director, Economic Club of Chicago "I was genuinely touched by this impassioned and informative history of a field in which I have spent my whole life.
