Editorial Reviews
Product Description
This book chronicles the history of the Georgetown black community from the colonial period to the 1990s. It records the hopes and dreams, the disappointments and successes, of a vibrant neighbourhood as it persevered through slavery and segregation, war and peace, prosperity and depression. Drawing on interviews with descendants of prominent community members and on the archives of major Georgetown churches, local historical societies, libraries and genealogical studies, it contains more than 200 illustrations, including portraits, sketches, maps and 19th-century and contemporary photographs.
