- Synopsis
- By 1910, about 400 settlement houses had been established in U.S. cities to help European immigrants adjust to life in America. As African Americans migrated to the cities, however, few settlements made a whole-hearted attempt to include them. In this book the author tries to determine why African American migrants were treated differently from European whites. She also describes a number of church-based programs in southern cities which were highly successful in helping black families. Most of these programs were created by black women, or by black and white women working in partnership.
