\nThere have been countless books\, articles\, and televised reports in recent years about t he almost mythic "white working class\," a tide of commentary that has obs cured the labor\, and even the very existence\, of entire groups of workin g people\, including everyday Black workers. In this brilliant corrective\ , Black Folk\, acclaimed historian Blair LM Kelley restores the B lack working class to the center of the American story. Spanning two hundr ed years--from one of Kelley's earliest known ancestors\, an enslaved blac ksmith\, to the essential workers of the COVID-19 pandemic-- this book hig hlights the lives of the laundresses\, Pullman porters\, domestic maids\, and postal workers who established the Black working class as a force in t he late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
