"Colored Residents of Chicago: A Study Conducted for the Children's Welfare Association" is the work of the famous American social activist and writer Louise de Koven Bowen. In this book, the author addresses the issue of racial inequality and social justice among the colorful untouchable population of Chicago in the early 20th century. Bowen reveals extraordinary thoroughness and detail in the depth of the analysis of the situation of colored citizens in the metropolis, showing their suffering, difficulties and struggle for dignity and social rights. The author focuses on the problem of children and youth facing systemic discrimination and even violence, giving a voice to those who are sometimes not heard by anyone. This book is an important document of the history of the struggle for equal rights and justice, which even today, throughout the ages, remains a relevant reminder that every person has the right to a dignified life and respect for his personality. "Coloured Chicagoans" is not only a description of historical events, but also a call to action and a call to charity and solidarity.
