Black Citymakers: How The Philadelphia Negro Changed Urban America

Black Citymakers: How The Philadelphia Negro Changed Urban America by Hunter, Marcus Anthony. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780190249670.

Black Citymakers revisits the Black Seventh Ward neighborhood and residents of W.E.B. DuBoiss The Philadelphia Negro over the twentieth century. Hunters analysis demonstrates that black Philadelphians were by not mere victims of large scale socio-economic and political change such as deindustrialization, urban renewal, and growing federal intervention into urban America following World War II, but active participants influencing the direction of urban policy and change.
