Among the diverse peoples who converged on America's mid-nineteenth western frontier were African American pioneers. Whether enslaved or free, they too were involved in this transformative movement. Sweet Freedom's Plains is a powerful retelling of the migration story from their perspective.

Traces the development of the African American community in Richmond, California, a city on the San Francisco Bay. This book examines the process and effect of migration, the rise of a black urban industrial workforce, and the dynamics of community development.
