{"value"=>"<p>The Chicago series consists of interview material, participant-observer records and printed matter on race relations and community life in Chicago. These materials were collected for the most part for a study of race relations in Chicago in the 1940s and for the 1961 revision of Black Metropolis. Of particular interest are the files on social clubs and churches, segregation in housing, community organizing, and violence against blacks. Drake was a member of the Southwest Hyde Park Association throughout the 1950s and was active in the fight against the University of Chicago's urban renewal program which, critics said, was aimed at tearing down houses occupied by blacks. There is a wealth of data here for any study of black communities and race relations in Chicago in the 1940s and 1950s. This material is unprocessed.</p>"}
