Synopsis
The war industries associated with World War II brought unparalleled employment opportunities for African Americans in San Francisco, a city whose African American population grew by over 650% between 1940 and 1945. With this population increase came an increase in racial discrimination directed at African Americans, primarily in the employment and housing sectors. In San Francisco, most African Americans were effectively barred from renting or buying homes in all but a few neighborhoods and, except for the well-educated and lucky, employment opportunities were open in near-entry levels for white-collar positions or in unskilled and semi-skilled blue-collar positions. As San Francisco's African American population expanded, civil rights groups formed coalitions to picket and protest, thereby effectively expanding job opportunities and opening the housing market for African American San Franciscans. This book describes and explains some of the obstacles and triumphs faced and achieved in areas such as housing, employment, education and civil rights. It reaches across disciplines from African American studies and history into urban studies and sociology.

    The item was exactly as described. The packaging was great. The value of this item is also very good. I thought that the shipping cost of $9.16 was high. The shipping time of 16 days for a 7 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 box with a CD and a set of headphones seems excessive.

    I took it upon myself to get to the bottom of this. The shipping simply was because Ebay calculated has been know to do that before (although i think it tells you prior to purchase what the shipping is going to be) as for it taking 16 days if you look at the tracking info I uploaded that SAME DAY it shows they shipped the item to Puerto Rico on accident mid way through shipment, all things out of my control, I do apologize on ebays behalf, Tysm for being informative instead of hateful God bless

    This Kansas Basketball DVD was in excellent brand new condition, when it arrived within the specified time. It looked exactly how it was described and was really good value. The DVD was surrounded in bubble wrap, then had cellophane wrapping covering that. It was then put in a pink polyethylene package, which gave it superb protection.
