African Americans in Glencoe: The Little Migration

Autor Robert A. Sideman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2009
The village of Glencoe has a proud history of early African American settlement. In recent years, however, this once thriving African American community has begun to disperse. Robert Sideman, a thirty-year Glencoe resident, relates this North Shore suburb's African American history through fond remembrances of Glencoe communities such as the St. Paul AME Church, as well as recounting the lives of prominent African Americans. At the same time, Sideman poses a difficult question: how can the village maintain its diverse heritage throughout changing times? "African Americans in Glencoe" reveals an uplifting history while challenging residents to embrace a past in danger of being lost.
