520    "During the Great Migration, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 
       became a mecca for African Americans seeking better job 
       opportunities, wages, and living conditions. The city's 
       thriving economy and vibrant social and cultural scenes 
       inspired dreams of prosperity and a new start, but this 
       urban haven was not free of discrimination and despair. In
       the face of injustice, activists formed the Urban League 
       of Pittsburgh (ULP) in 1918 to combat prejudice and 
       support the city's growing African American population. In
       this broad-ranging history, Joe William Trotter Jr. uses 
       this noteworthy branch of the National Urban League to 
       provide new insights into an organization that has often 
       faced criticism for its social programs' deep class and 
       gender limitations. Surveying issues including housing, 
       healthcare, and occupational mobility, Trotter underscores
       how the ULP-often in concert with the Urban League's 
       national headquarters-bridged social divisions to improve 
       the lives of black citizens of every class. He also sheds 
       new light on the branch's nonviolent direct-action 
       campaigns and places these powerful grassroots operations 
       within the context of the modern Black Freedom Movement. 
       The impact of the National Urban League is a hotly debated
       topic in African American social and political history. 
       Trotter's study provides valuable new insights that 
       demonstrate how the organization has relieved massive 
       suffering and racial inequality in US cities for more than
       a century"--|cProvided by publisher
