Tanya,

My book Keepers of the Spirits (1998), dedicates some discussion to African-American bootleggers in Florida during prohibition.  In doing so, it illuminates to some degree the black community's attitudes toward prohibition.  

Sincerely,

Hello,

I realize that this is not the best time to post a query to the list,
but I had to give it a shot just in case.  Is anyone familiar with any
work done on the black community during Prohibition?  There seems to be
a huge hole in the literature in this area.  I am looking for any
secondary materials that would illuminate African-American attitudes
towards Prohibition, but am especially interested in their involvement
with bootlegging.

Thanks in advance,
