African Americans and Homelessness: Moving Through History

^* To whom correspondence should be addressed. E-mail: johnsonr{at}usfca.edu.

	Abstract

The story of African Americans is usually absent from the mainstream textbook study of homeless people. This research begins to address this absence. It provides an overview by using eight distinct historic experiences—the colonial period, Civil War period, cowboys of the west, the tramping years, the Black migration north, the depression years and New Deal, urban renewal, and deindustrialization of the American economy—to begin the process of more fully describing the experience of Black homelessness in America.
