About this item
by Wendell Phillips Dabney (Author)
In 1926 Wendell Phillips Dabney published his first book, Cincinnati's Colored Citizens, which was an unprecedented review of the city's most successful and important African American citizens. Never before had a publication marshaled together such an immense amount of historical, sociological, statistical, and biographical information about Cincinnati's black community. Its nine chapters, well illustrated with photographs, provided a wealth of information about black schools, churches, businesses, property owners, benevolent organizations, and much more. Cincinnati's Colored Citizens remains today an important piece of Cincinnati's rich African American heritage and a critical resource for those interested in the history of the Queen City.
