In Historical Black Milwaukee (1950-2022), the author illustrates how an African American community grew over time and the people, events, and institutions that shaped Black Milwaukee. He also shows the contributions that African Americans made to the City of Milwaukee's growth and its history. Bonds provides a detailed discussion on historical Black Milwaukee. He shows how a small Black population of 21,772 (3.41%) out of Milwaukee's population of 637,392 in 1950 grew to become the second-largest racial group in Milwaukee with a total population of 223.962 (38.8%), based on the City of Milwaukee's 2021 estimated population of 577,222. The author discusses the people (community leaders, Black elected officials at every level of government, and Black professionals in the public, private, and criminal justice sectors) who shaped historical Black Milwaukee. Moreover, he provides a detailed discussion of various institutions (Black businesses, schools, religion, media outlets (newspaper, radio stations, televisions, etc.), social service agencies, and more that shaped historical Black Milwaukee.

This book discusses the challenges and opportunities that led to the integration of the Black population into the City of Milwaukee.

Book Description
This cooperative project of a group of German and American scholars represents an innovative approach to immigration research. The focus is on migrants from farming communities along the Rhine who relocated to Wisconsin in the nineteenth century: from the Westerwald to Reeseville; from the Cologne area of Cross Plains; from the Eifel to the so-called Holyland in Fond du Lac and Calumet Counties; and from Rhenish Hesse to Washington and Sheboygan Counties. Taking different approaches, the authors of the essays concentrate on the migrantsÆ relationship to the land, using, among other sources, official documents from both sides of the Atlantic, such as census and family records, land registers, plat maps, and land situation in their original home, the migration process itself, and their experience in Wisconsin.
