Roosevelt's most successful New Deal agencies. In an effort to correct the lack of historical attention paid to the African-American contribution to the CCC, Olen Cole, Jr., examines their participation in the Corps as well as its impact on them."--BOOK JACKET. "Perhaps most important, Cole's use of oral histories gives voice to individual experiences: former Corps members discuss the benefits of employment, vocational training, and character development as well as their experiences of community reaction to all-black CCC camps. An important and much neglected chapter in American history, Cole's study should interest students of New Deal politics, state and national park history, and the African-American experience in the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET. 000323206 61020 $$aCivilian Conservation Corps (U.S.)$$zCalifornia$$xHistory. 000323206 650_0 $$aAfrican American young men$$xEmployment$$zCalifornia$$xHistory. 000323206 650_0 $$aAfrican American young men$$xEducation$$zCalifornia$$xHistory. 000323206 85200 $$bgen$$hS932.C3$$iC65$$i1999 000323206 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:323206$$pGLOBAL_SET 000323206 980__ $$aBIB 000323206 980__ $$aBOOK 000323206 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
