"The strength of South Bend, Indiana's African American community comes to life through stories of the places where history was made and the people who helped make it. Placing History offers the most comprehensively researched account of South Bend's African American history, drawing from over 2,500 newspaper articles, oral histories collected by the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Center, and other newly uncovered sources. A complement to the Civil Rights Heritage Center's African American Landmark Tour, this book features in-depth histories of many of the sites on the tour, including 'The Lake', Linden School, Oliver A.M.E. Church, and the Engman Public Natatorium, home of the Civil Rights Heritage Center"--jacket cover.
