Description: Gerri Major, the late, former Society Editor for "Ebony" and "Jet" Magazines, with Doris E. Saunders answers questions about black society from the 1700 to the mid 1970's. "Black Society" was written from the point of view of a woman who spent half-a-century chronicling the activities of this often alluded to, but largely unknown class of Americans. It describes the significant role played and contributions made by the black upper-class within the historical context of the past two hundred years in American history. Photographs, Genealogies, Bibliography, Indexed.
