Description: "To Place Our Deeds traces the development of the African American community in Richmond, California, a city on the San Francisco Bay. This study, based on numerous oral histories, newspapers, and archival collections, is the first to examine the historical development of one black working-class community over a fifty-year period."--BOOK JACKET.

"As this work shows, working-class African Americans often stood at the forefront of the struggle for equality and were linked to larger political, social, and cultural currents that transformed the nation in the postwar period."--BOOK JACKET.
