Summary
"Examines the power exerted by prominent African American men in three diverse, yet interrelated, American cities: Charleston, South Carolina; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Cleveland, Ohio. Each city alone could have provided a fascinating study; however, this comparative study illustrates the degree of power exerted by African American elites not just within the black community but also across the color line in three major American cities."--Introduction
