The process by which they achieved this status is the subject of Trotter’s ground-breaking study. This second edition features a new preface and acknowledgments, an essay on e antebellum and Civil War roots of Milwaukee’s black community, and an epilogue on the post-World War II years and the impact of deindustrialization, all by the author. Brief essays by four ofTrotter’s colleagues--William P. Jones, Earl Lewipact of the original Black Milwaukee on the study of African American urban history over the past twenty years.
