African Americans from Pittsburgh have a long and distinctive history of contributions to the cultural, political, and social evolution of the United States. From jazz legend Earl Fatha Hines to playwright August Wilson, from labor protests in the 1950s to the Black Power movement of the late 1960s, Pittsburgh has been a force for change in American race and class relations.

Race and Renaissance presents the first history of African American life in Pittsburgh after World War II. It examines the origins and significance of the second Great Migration, the persistence of Jim Crow into the postwar years, the second ghetto, the contemporary urban crisis, the civil rights and Black Power movements, and the Million Man and Million Woman marches, among other topics.

In recreating this period, Trotter and Day draw not only from newspaper articles and other primary and secondary sources, but also from oral histories. These include interviews with African Americans who lived in Pittsburgh during the postwar era, uncovering firsthand accounts of what life was truly like during this transformative epoch in urban history.

In these ways, Race and Renaissance illuminateshow African Americans arrived at their present moment in history. It also links movements for change to larger global issues: civil rights with the Vietnam War; affirmative action with the movement against South African apartheid. As such, the study draws on both sociology and urban studies to deepen our understanding of the lives of urban blacks.

Ok for the price but not amazing
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 1.4 oz (40g)
It is fine for the price but has a bit of that unpleasant cheap matcha taste so wont be rebuying. Decent bitterness but not really creamy or sweet in my opinion. The color is good tho so aesthetically it is very pretty.

Best quality for price!
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 1.4 oz (40g)
One of the best ceremonial matcha powders I’ve ever tried! It blends and froths up so easily and it tastes like true authentic matcha. I was very surprised with the quality and so happy I found a new one.

Cute matcha set, quality for price
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
I was looking for an affordable, quick replacement for my previous matcha set and found this item. For the price point, this is great quality and is such a cute addition to my kitchen. I also like that this includes all the essentials for making a matcha. The chasen does seem to be on the more fragile side though so I'd just be careful and properly take care of it such as blooming it in hot water before any usage and whisk with a very lighthand.

Cute!
Color: Green
Super cute and fun to use, easy to clean, appears to be very well-made. Excellent, especially for such a low price. I will say the only complaint I have is that the spout design could use some work; the end of it doesn't come out far enough so it dribbles a bit when you try to pour. Also, and maybe this is to be expected due to the use of natural materials, but there are a couple of small split pieces/splinters on the chasen (whisk) I had to trim. Otherwise perfect!
