Lift every voice and sing
St. Louis African-Americans in the twentieth century : narratives
by Ann Morris
"Initially a project to preserve the stories of men and women who lived in the Ville - a black neighborhood in St. Louis known for its business leaders and educators - Doris Wesley's work soon took on a larger purpose. Lift Every Voice and Sing pairs Wesley's profiles of one hundred prominent African American citizens with Wiley Price's stunning photographs of each, offering an intimate look at what it was like to live in a segregated city.
Revealing the challenges faced by blacks throughout a tumultuous century, the profiles feature people from various fields, including doctors, educators, musicians, journalists, men and women in business, pastors, and civil rights leaders. They each relate their experiences of racism, the obstacles they overcame in their professions, and the lessons life has taught them."--BOOK JACKET.
