Margo Jefferson Takes Readers Inside Chicago’s Black Elite Culture
The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 21, 2015
Pulitzer Prize winning critic Margo Jefferson discusses her memoir, Negroland. Born in upper-crust black Chicago—her father was head of pediatrics at the nation’s oldest black hospital; her mother was a socialite—Jefferson spent most of her life among the colored elite. Since the nineteenth century they have stood apart, these inhabitants of so-called Negroland.
