To place our deeds

"To Place Our Deeds traces the development of the African American community in Richmond, California, a city on the San Francisco Bay. This study, based on numerous oral histories, newspapers, and archival collections, is the first to examine the historical development of one black working-class community over a fifty-year period."--BOOK JACKET. "As this work shows, working-class African Americans often stood at the forefront of the struggle for equality and were linked to larger political, social, and cultural currents that transformed the nation in the postwar period."--BOOK JACKET.

המשפט הראשון: In 1940, before the tumultuous events of December 7, 1941, thrust the United States into World War II, Richmond was a sleepy coastal city of approximately twenty-four thousand lying along the east shore of the San Francisco Bay in Contra Costa County.
