Description

African American citizens, as free laborers and as slaves, were a number of the earliest permanent residents of Michigan, settling a number of the French, British, and Native folks with whom they worked and farmed. Lewis Walker and Benjamin Wilson recount the long history of African American communities in Michigan, delineating their change through the years, as migrants from the South, East, and out of the country made their homes within the state. Additionally, the authors show how Michigan’s development is inextricably joined with the vitality and strength of its African American residents. In a related chapter, Linwood Cousins examines youth culture and identity in African American schools, linking education with historical and latest problems with economics, racism, and gear.
