Los Angeles: Delilah L. Beasley, 1919. First Edition. Hardcover. This rich work took some eighteen years to complete - ten years of research and an additional eight years in the writing. Delilah Beasley (1871-1934) published it herself in the hope that it would find a place in every public library and in the home of every African American.

She voraciously read the many documents and newspapers in the Bancroft Library relating to Black people, and examined county files, poorhouse records, and whatever else offered information on their lives. The first half of the book gives a brief history… Read More
