Black Power: Gary Style
Richard G. Hatcher became the first African American mayor of Gary, Indiana in 1968 after a bitter, hard-fought campaign. He ran without party support in a city that had overwhelmingly voted for George Wallace in the 1964 presidential primary. Along with Carl Stoke's election in Cleveland, it ushered in a new era of black political power. This book traces the growth of Hatcher as a young loayer from a southern migrant family. The author argues that this story represents a microcosm of the black political power struggle of the time.

Not since the civil rights legislation of the 1960s has the United States seen such remarkable advances. During Obama's historic campaign, however, prominent African Americans voiced concern about his candidacy, demonstrating a divided agenda among black political leaders. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. changed perceptions about the nature of African American leadership. In Yes We Did?, Cynthia Fleming examines the expansion of black leadership from grassroots to the national arena, beginning with Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. DuBois and progressing through contemporary leader...
Gary, the Most American of All American Cities
U.S. Steel created Gary, Indiana. The new steel plant and town built on the site in 1906 were at once a triumph of industrial capitalism and a bold experiment in urban planning. Gary became the canvas onto which the American public projected its hopes and fears about modern, industrial society. In its prime, Gary was known as "the magic city," "steel's greatest achievement," and "an industrial utopia"; later it would be called "the very model of urban decay." S. Paul O'Hara traces this stark reversal of fortune and reveals America's changing expectations. He delivers a riveting account of the boom or bust mentality of American industrialism from the turn of the 20th century to the present day.
