Monumental in scope and vividly detailed, Chocolate City tells the tumultuous, four-century story of race and democracy in our nation's capital. Emblematic of the ongoing tensions between America's expansive democratic promises and its enduring racial realities, Washington often has served as a national battleground for contentious issues, including slavery, segregation, civil rights, the drug war, and gentrification.

Revisado: 02-09-21
I have lived in DC for 20 years. And I have lived in Congress heights for about 15 of those years. And I have always tried to figure out why the separation of the races geographically financially and socioeconomically. This book gives me a greater understanding of many of the historical issues that still impact the Congress heights area to this day. I think the biggest revelation was the division of groups who lived in the alleys versus those who live on the main roads because I have noticed that alleys are widely used in terms of getting from point A to point b within the east of the river communities. And now I've noticed but in Northwest they Are utilizing alleys more and more for businesses especially restaurants. This was a really great listen and I'm thankful that it was finally put on audible cuz I've been trying to get through the book for over a year now but I keep getting distracted. This allowed me to listen to bits and pieces every time I was cleaning my house or taking a shower or getting ready to go out.
