Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments

"Morris and Ambrose tell an embattled but triumphant story of strong families, old-time religion, and an emphasis on education as the true path to freedom. Extraordinary photographs." --Booklist

"Informal photographs taken from family albums and collections provide a warm, intimate look at several decades of middle-class African-American life." --Los Angeles Times Book Review

"... a fascinating history of the achievements and tribulations... of North Webster, a small African-American community in an upper middle-class suburb of St. Louis."

Synopsis

North Webster is a black middle-class suburb west of St. Louis which began at the end of the Civil War. Its residents have suffered the discrimination of a southern, border state, and yet they accomplished great things. The North Webster community emphasized education as the path to achievement from the beginning.
