Description
"Before, during, and after the US Civil War, Boston's black workers were barred from the skilled trades, factory work, and public-works projects. In Boston, as in cities across the North, white abolitionists focused virtually all their energies on the plight of enslaved black Southerners, while refusing to address the challenges faced by their black neighbors. The author presents inspiring and heart-wrenching stories of people -- from day laborers and domestics to physicians and lawyers -- who ingeniously forged careers in the face of monumental obstacles." -- Provided by publisher.
