Better Homes of South Bend: An American Story of Courage
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
In 1950, a group of African American workers at the Studebaker factory in South Bend met in secret with a mission to build homes away from the factories and slums where they were forced to live. Despite coming from the South with the hope of making a better life for themselves and their children, they encountered Jim Crow in the North as well. This meeting led to the creation of Better Homes of South Bend, and their triumph against the deeply rooted racism of the time required immense courage, intelligence, and perseverance. Author Gabrielle Robinson shares their struggle and offers an intimate glimpse into a part of history that is too often forgotten. This book captures their story.
