Desegregation isn‘t about Black people giving up their institutions
Desegregation isn‘t about Black people giving up their institutions
A fascinating look at 12 days in 1919 Chicago that changed the city for many years to come. Nonfiction, well researched and well written.
Informative, and easy to read, Chicago's Great Fire doesn't only look at the historical events of 1871. It also covers the sociological aspects before and after.

Devastating story, but a fascinating read (and it always feels so weird to describe these real-life disaster books this way). But, they can be (and this one is) so compelling.
Last night a native Chicagoan recommended I read this book. I love oral histories, so it‘s right up my alley! #oralhistories #chicagohistory
