About This Book

A sociological study examines the recent migration of African American workers into a northern steel city, combining census figures, employer canvasses, and interviews to estimate population and employment increases. It documents housing overcrowding, health risks, and rising social tensions, and analyzes problems faced by migrants and by the receiving community, including delinquency and public-health concerns. The report concludes with practical, community-focused recommendations for housing, health, recreation, and civic adjustment intended to stabilize labor supply and aid long-term integration.
