Once one of the wealthiest cities in America, Charleston, South Carolina, established
a society built on the racial hierarchies of slavery and segregation. By the 1970s,
the legal structures behind these racial divisions had broken down, and the wealth
built upon them faded. Like many southern cities, Charleston had to construct a new
public image. In this important book, Steve Estes chronicles the rise and fall of
black political empowerment and examines the ways Charleston responded to the civil
rights movement, embracing some changes and resisting others. Based on detailed archival
research and more than fifty oral history interviews, Charleston in Black and White
addresses the complex roles played not only by race but also by politics, labor relations,
criminal justice, education, religion, tourism, economics, and the military in shaping
a modern southern city. Despite the advances and opportunities that have come to the
city since the 1960s, Charleston (like much of the South) has not fully reckoned with
its troubled racial past, which still influences the present and will continue to
shape the future. -- Front jacket flap
