{"product_id":"african-americans-in-spokane-jerrelene-williamson-9780738570112","title":"African Americans in Spokane","description":"In 1888, black men were recruited from the southern states to come to Roslyn, Washington, to work in the mines. What they had not known until their arrival was that they were there to break the strike against the coal company. Upon their arrival on the Northern Pacific Coal Company train, they were met with much violence. When the strike was finally settled, everyone-black and white-went to work. After the mines closed, the blacks migrated across the Pacific Northwest. Arcadia's African Americans in Spokane is about those black families who arrived in Spokane, Washington, in 1899. This collection of historic images reveals the story of their survival, culture, churches, and significance in the Spokane community throughout the decades that followed; this is the story of the journey that began once their final destination was reached, in Spokane.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerrelene Williamson, Spokane Northwest Black Pioneers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738570117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738570112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Jerrelene Williamson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46867002720511,"sku":"9780738570112","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09c8775f-6e5c-410d-9b1c-a4092e9ac91c.jpg?v=1747453659","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/african-americans-in-spokane-jerrelene-williamson-9780738570112","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
