With the migration of African-American sharecroppers to northern cities in the first half of the 20th century, the African-American population of Milwaukee grew from fewer than 1,000 in 1900 to nearly 22,000 by 1950. Most settled around a 12-block area along Walnut Street that came to be known as Milwaukee's Bronzeville, a thriving residential, business, and entertainment community.

Autorenporträt
Paul H. Geenen is a community activist in Milwaukee who, after hearing some of the stories told by people who lived through the Milwaukee Bronzeville era, believes these stories should be kept and shared through the photographs collected in this book. Each page gives a glimpse into that special time and place in Milwaukee that ended mid-century with urban renewal and the construction of a freeway through its heart.
