Boston Confronts Jim Crow, 1890-1920
Boston, the headquarters of radical abolition during the antebellum period, is, paradoxically, often thought of as unfriendly to African-Americans today. In this study of the city's significant role in the fight against racism between 1890 and 1920, Mark Robert Schneider illuminates the vital links between Boston's antislavery tradition, race reform at the turn of the century, and the modern ci…

He wrote: ‘We should stop seeing the doctor as the agent of primary care. People t…
