Politics and Prejudice: Small-town Blacks battle a corrupt system

By Richard E. Harris

"Politics and Prejudice" tells the story of the Black population of Chester, Pennsylvania, starting with a few slaves in colonial times and ending with Chester as a majority-Black city in the 1980s. Author Richard Harris was eye-witness to many of the dramatic events of the struggle for equality during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, when Chester was in the national spotlight. Those events are vividly described, as are the many ways the repressive Republican political machine sought to suppress and manipulate Chester's Blacks.
