Notes:
- In addition to other sources cited, the data for the “Demographic Shifts Among African Americans and Immigrants” section was taken from U.S. Census Bureau and Migration Information Source www.migrationinformation.org/USFocus/ranktable.4.html sources.
- The “History of Domination and the Pursuit of Work and Opportunity” timeline was constructed from a range of sources, but predominantly a Public Broadcasting System online resource.
- The “Jobs, Race, and Immigration” section was constructed from some of the book sources above. In addition, Janice Fine, Assistant Professor of Labor Studies and Employment Relations at Rutgers University in New Jersey and a Center for Community Change ally, contributed greatly to this section.
- The “Rules for Relational Meetings” resource was developed from Dushaw Hockett’s organizing and mentoring experience with an affiliate of the Industrial Areas Foundation.
