{"product_id":"winston-salems-african-american-legacy-cheryl-streeter-harry-9780738597737","title":"Winston-Salem's African American Legacy","description":"Winston-Salem was created in 1913 when the City of Winston and the Town of Salem merged. Salem was established in 1766 by the Moravian Church as a devout religious community. The county seat of Winston was formed out of Salem in 1849. African Americans had no voice in the consolidation; however, these descendants of slaves built a legacy in a \"separate and unequal\" municipality in the 20th century. The thriving tobacco industry delivered swift progress for African Americans in the Twin City, placing them on the level of the \"Black Wall Street\" cities in the South. Slater Industrial Academy (now Winston-Salem State University) provided the educational foundation. WAAA radio gave the community an active voice in 1950. Winston-Salem's African American Legacy showcases the significant contributions through the lens of the city's historical cultural institutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cheryl Streeter Harry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738597732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738597737\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 02\/04\/2013\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 0.30d","brand":"Cheryl Streeter Harry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925816705279,"sku":"9780738597737","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3016f9e4-0159-404a-b8c4-690a6da30aca.jpg?v=1681079533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/winston-salems-african-american-legacy-cheryl-streeter-harry-9780738597737","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
