| Title | Exhibit of WPA research materials, 1939 |
| Description | An exhibit of research supervised by Horace Cayton and funded by the WPA (Works Progress Administration) was presented to the public in the basement of the Church of the Good Shepherd (5700 Prairie Avenue) in 1939. The 23 studies were the most comprehensive ever undertaken of a northern Black community, and helped provide the data base for Cayton and Drake's Black Metropolis. Three of these studies, including St. Clair Drake's Churches and Voluntary Associations in the Chicago Negro Community, were published in limited quantities in mimeographed form. |
