Jim Crow Capital: Women and Black Freedom Struggles in Washington, D.C., 1920–1945
Mary-Elizabeth B. Murphy
Tells the story of how African American women in Washington D. C. transformed civil rights politics in their freedom struggles between 1920 and 1945. Even though no resident of the nation's capital could vote, black women seized on their conspicuous location to testify in Congress, lobby politicians, and stage protests to secure racial justice, both in Washington and across America.
