The author paints a picture of African-American life in Butler County, Kentucky, beginning with the first slaves brought into the area, where they lived, and their numerous, and seldom recognized, contributions to the development of the county. Also documented are the families owning slaves in the county. Included in the narrative are the names of known African-American soldiers, the wars in which they were involved, the units in which each served, and actions in which the units participated. Overviews of education, religious life, and cultural traditions of the black community in the county both before and after slavery are also provided. The conclusion of the study provides the names of the black families and members of each, in what communities they lived, and insight into the economic conditions faced, following through to the present

"While this is a glimpse of Frankfort's African American community, it has much in common with other Black communities, especially those in the South. Although much in the collection that produced this work - both photographic and oral history - is nostalgic, it ultimately demonstrates that change is constant, producing both negative and positive results."--BOOK JACKET.

In this sweeping history of racial interaction and violence from the post-Civil War to school integration in the 1960s, Lee Durham Stone, Ph.D., reframes the "idea of Kentucky." Through this searing lens, Dr. Stone shows how the institutional violence of enslavery rippled through each subsequent era in the Bluegrass State. Examined herein are a trial and "legal lynching" in 1907, the secretive Possum Hunters of 1914-1916 who terrorized the Western Kentucky coalfields, Jim Crow education, the strange case of a physician who drank poison before entering the courtroom (he died), the examination of small-town spatial segregation, and the local resistance to school integration in 1963. There is more, too, including Black businesses and African Americans in coal mining. This book cites all its sources, so it would be useful for students and other researchers.

African American Lives offers up-to-date, authoritative biographies of some 600 noteworthy African Americans. These 1,000-3,000 word biographies, selected from over five thousand entries in the forthcoming eight-volume African American National Biography, illuminate African-American history through the immediacy of individual experience. From Esteban, the earliest known African to set foot in North America in 1528, right up to the continuing careers of Venus and Serena Williams, these stories of the renowned and the near forgotten give us a new view of American history. Our past is revealed from personal perspectives that in turn inspire, move, entertain, and even infuriate the reader. Subjects include slaves and abolitionists, writers, politicians, and business people, musicians and dancers, artists and athletes, victims of injustice and the lawyers, journalists, and civil rights leaders who gave them a voice. Their experiences and accomplishments combine to expose the complexity of race as an overriding issue in America's past and present. African American Lives features frequent cross-references among related entries, over 300 illustrations, and a general index, supplemented by indexes organized by chronology, occupation or area of renown, and winners of particular honors such as the Spingarn Medal, Nobel Prize, and Pulitzer Prize.

African Americans have lived in Boyle County, Kentucky, since the first settlement of the area in 1775. Mostly enslaved, by the Civil War, the county had one of the largest population of free Blacks in the area with the exception of Jefferson and Fayette Counties. Their presence in Danville, the county seat, but also in population centers scattered throughout the county resulted in a deep and broad influence, much of which was lost in the early 1900s due to out-migration, deaths, and especially urban renewal between 1963 and 1975. Within Danville, the South Second Street area was the heart of the Black community. Restaurants, groceries, pool halls, barbershops, and beauty shops were the center of commerce from the 1890s until the 1970s. The Bate School also drew students from the outlying settlements that did not have high schools of their own. Today, the majority of the African American community continues to live in the city of Danville, with small pockets in Perryville and outlying areas of Boyle County. Michael Thomas Hughes is a native of Boyle County and grew up in a segregated society. Michael J. Denis is a retired history teacher from Maine who moved to Boyle County and immediately fell in love with its history. The photographs in this book are mostly from the Danville Boyle County African American Historical Society Inc. collection (DBCAAHS), of which the authors are charter members.
