African American Women Diary (Great Society)

Dear Diary,

As an African Americans in the United States I have faced discrimination, segregation, and stereotyping, especially all in the Southern and Midwestern United States for decades after the American Civil War. In the 1960s, I remember Americans who knew only the potential of 'equal protection of the laws' expected the president, the Congress, and the courts to fulfill the promise of the 14th Amendment.The inequality prevalent in the time period before the Civil Rights movement gained strength in the U.S. I remember Stack’s research was collected as she immersed herself in the culture of an impoverished community in the vicinity of Chicago, the identity and whereabouts of which is unknown and thus referred to as “Jackson Harbor”.

Love always,

An African American Women
