Philadelphia has played a pivotal role in the development of Black politics throughout the nation. If There Is No Struggle There Is No Progress offers a comprehensive historical examination, spanning from the era of the Great Migration to the present, of the individuals and movements that have contributed to the city's status as a hub of political activism. The editor and contributors shed light on how Black activists have consistently resisted police brutality, advocated for educational reform, fought against job and housing discrimination, and even influenced presidential elections.
If There Is No Struggle There Is No Progress emphasizes the effectiveness of political strategies such as the "Dont Buy Where You Cant Work" movement and the Double V campaign. It showcases how Black activism played a significant role in transforming Philadelphia from a Republican stronghold to a Democratic-led city in the 1950s. The book also highlights the election of notable politicians like Robert N. C. Nix, Sr., the first African American representative from Philadelphia. Furthermore, it delves into grassroots movements and the interplay of race, gender, class, and politics during the 1960s, illustrating how African Americans, from the 1970s to the present, challenged Mayor Frank Rizzo and contributed to the election of Mayors Wilson Goode, John Street, and Michael Nutter.
Convincingly, If There Is No Struggle There Is No Progress establishes that Black activism has consistently been a formidable force in Philadelphia politics.
