The book focuses on the period from the Progressive Era to the end of World War II, which is often overlooked in the history of African American civil rights. It features a revolving cast of social workers, medical professionals, journalists, scholars, and lawyers who worked to promote social justice and address racial inequities. Adam Lee Cilli's book explores how these Black reformers experimented with various strategies to find practical solutions to profound inequities. During the period under study, they developed crucial social safety supports in Black communities, waged comprehensive campaigns against anti-Black stereotypes, and built inroads into the industrial labor movement that accelerated Black inclusion. Pittsburgh's activists challenged white America to face its contradictions and live up to its democratic ideals. The book provides a valuable contribution to the study of African American civil rights and political advocacy in an urban setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 424g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 151 x 229 x 22 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780820358888                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adam Lee Cilli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096526385402,"sku":"9780820358888","price":39.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/a5d1bf79838d238e1fb9fbac2e4046c4.jpg?v=1621203729","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/canaan-dim-and-far-black-reformers-and-the-pursuit-of-citizenship-in-pittsburgh-1915-1945","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
