Descriptive title of project: A New Body of Citizens

Brief description of project (do not exceed space provided):
A New Body of Citizens combines the techniques of social history, multiple biography, and traditional political and economic history with an innovative HTML framework technologically enhanced by the digitalization of original source documents. By profiling African-American communities in Baltimore from 1850 to 1920, the project seeks to define family structure, living conditions, economic standing, religious, political and social organizations and activities in an era of new freedoms and new constraints while describing and interpreting the participation of African-Americans in the life of a major American city, known as the "nineteenth century black capital."
