505 0  Introduction: Painting the picture of black federal 
       workers -- "Boy! Look at all these government girls!" : 
       black opportunity in the nation's capital, 1941-1945 -- 
       "Study long, study wrong" : achievements and limits of 
       commissions studying discrimination in the federal 
       workforce, 1945-1947 -- "This is not working" : white 
       resistance to black persistence, 1948-1959 -- "Rats! 
       Discriminated again" : Julius Hobson and the rising civil 
       rights movement, 1960-1969 -- "I was hurting" : blacks in 
       government on the mend, 1970-1981 -- Epilogue: A moving 
       picture of black workers, 1980-1981. 
520    "As the largest employer of one of the world's leading 
       economic and geo-political superpowers, the history of the
       federal government's workforce is a rich and essential 
       tool for understanding how the 'Great Experiment' truly 
       works. The literal face of federal policy, federal 
       employees enjoy a history as rich as the country itself, 
       while reflecting the country's evolution towards true 
       democracy within a public space. Nowhere is this 
       progression towards democracy more apparent than with its 
       internal race relations. While World War II was a boon to 
       black workers, little is known about the nuanced, ongoing 
       struggles for dignity and respect that black workers 
       endured while working these 'good, government jobs.' 
       American Dream Deferred challenges postwar narratives of 
       government largess for African Americans by illuminating 
       the neglected stories of these unknown black workers"--
