We invite scholars, community activists, and historians to submit chapters for an upcoming book on the largely unexplored experiences of Black enrollees in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the Great Depression, with a focus on the American South. This volume seeks to illuminate the labor conditions, social dynamics, and enduring legacies of Black participants in this pivotal New Deal program.
