The WPA History of the Negro in Pittsburgh
2004
Overview
The monumentalAmerican Guide Series, published by the Federal Writers' Project, provided work to thousands of unemployed writers, editors, and researchers in the midst of the Great Depression. Featuring books on states, cities, rivers, and ethnic groups, it also opened an unprecedented view into the lives of the American people during this time. Untold numbers of projects in progress were lost when the program was abruptly shut down by a hostile Congress in 1939.
One of those, \"The Negro in Pittsburgh,\" lay dormant in the Pennsylvania State Library until it was microfilmed in 1970.The WPA History of the Negro in Pittsburghmarks the first publication of this rich body of information. This unique historical study of the city's black population features articles on civil rights, social class, lifestyle, culture, folklore, and institutions from colonial times through the 1930s.
