Sample Book Insights:
#1 I became interested in the government’s racial policies in the San Francisco Bay Area during World War II, when the area was home to the most extensive shipbuilding complex in the nation.
#2 During World War II, the influx of workers in Richmond, California, resulted in the city’s black population soaring from 270 to 14,000.
#3 The federal government built public housing for African Americans in Richmond, which was segregated. The housing was poorly constructed and intended to be temporary, but it remained that way for decades.
#4 During World War II, the government collaborated with private groups to segregate Richmond. The United Services Organization maintained separate black and white clubs in Richmond for military personnel, and the police arrested and jailed African American men if they could not prove they were employed.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

I became interested in the government’s racial policies in the San Francisco Bay Area during World War II, when the area was home to the most extensive shipbuilding complex in the nation.

#2

During World War II, the influx of workers in Richmond, California, resulted in the city’s black population soaring from 270 to 14,000.

#3

The federal government built public housing for African Americans in Richmond, which was segregated. The housing was poorly constructed and intended to be temporary, but it remained that way for decades.

#4

During World War II, the government collaborated with private groups to segregate Richmond. The United Services Organization maintained separate black and white clubs in Richmond for military personnel, and the police arrested and jailed African American men if they could not prove they were employed.

#5

In the 1950s, Ford opened a plant in Milpitas, a suburb of San Jose. The town was created by developers who built subdivisions of inexpensive single-family houses for workers at Ford and other plants. The houses were guaranteed by the federal government, but banks usually shied away from making loans to working-class families unless the mortgages were insured.

#6

After World War II, Richmond became a largely black city as African Americans began moving into the south end. By 1970, Stevenson was able to buy his first house in the southern part of Richmond.

#7

After World War II, Stanford University in Palo Alto, south of San Francisco, recruited Wallace Stegner to teach creative writing. The university’s offer followed the publication in 1943 of Stegner’s semiautobiographical novel, The Big Rock Candy Mountain. But the project stalled when the co-op could not obtain financing without government approval.

#8

In 1954, the first African American family moved into a whites-only area in East Palo Alto, across the highway from the Stanford campus. Within six years, the population of East Palo Alto was 82 percent black.

#9

The government created segregation in every metropolitan area of the nation. If it could happen in San Francisco, it could and did happen everywhere.

#10

The term bank loosely includes not only banks but also savings and loans, credit unions, and mortgage-originating companies. However, the discussion in Chapter 7 about federal and state regulators of banks only applies to those institutions that are heavily regulated by the government.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The purposeful use of public housing to herd African Americans into urban ghettos had as big of an impact on the development of de jure segregation as any other factor.

#2

The Federal government first developed housing for civilians during World War I, when it built residences for defense workers near naval shipyards and munitions plants. In the 1930s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal created the nation’s first public housing for civilians who were not engaged in defense work.

#3

The Civilian Conservation Corps was a government program that employed thousands of young men, many of whom were African American, and gave them jobs building parks and roads. Some state and local governments refused to allow African American CCC camps within their borders, so the federal government had to set up camps on nearby army bases or on national forest or park land.

#4

While the Roosevelt administration was committed to providing housing to all Americans, it did not intend to integrate these housing projects. Instead, it designated housing for African Americans in areas that were exclusively white, and vice versa.

#5

The PWA also imposed segregation on integrated communities.
