Notable Southern Californians in Black History
Author: Robert Lee JohnsonPublisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1625851154
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
The contribution of Black men and women throughout the history of California is often overlooked because it doesn't easily fit into the established narrative. In Los Angeles, over half of the original settlers were of African descent. These settlers left New Spain for the northern frontier to escape the oppression of the Spanish caste system, just as the racially oppressive Jim Crow laws propelled a similar migration from the American South 150 years later. Pioneers and politicians, as well as entrepreneurs and educators, left an indelible mark on the region's history. Robert Lee Johnson offers the story of a few of the notable Black men and women who came to Southern California seeking opportunity and a better life for their families.

Book Description
Excerpt from California and the Californians To know the glory of California scenery, one must live close to it through the changing years. From Siskiyou to San Diego, from Mendocino to Mariposa, from Tahoe to the Farallones, lake, crag, or chasm, forest, mountain, valley, or island, river, bay, or jutting headland, every one bears the stamp of its own peculiar beauty, a singular blending of richness, wildness, and warmth. Coastwise every where sea and mountains meet, and the surf of the cold Japanese current breaks in turbulent beauty against tall rincones and jagged reefs of rock. Slumbering amid the hills of the Coast Range. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
