START WITH THE BLOG ARCHIVE on the RIGHT. READ THE INTRO, THEN CLICK ON 2/18, where you can click on the following chapters in any order. You can also advance by clicking "Older Post" at the bottom right after each chapter/page.
Each is an interview or an essay based upon interviews, observations, and research. All opinions other than those expressed by the interviewees are the author's and resources can be provided upon request. All quotes taken directly from audio recordings. Please send questions, comments, and offers to be interviewed to cyncain@gmail.com or call 859 221 3034 and leave a message.
To the far right, if you click on "Maps" you will find some useful maps of Washington County in the 1870s. You can enlarge these maps and compare with current maps to see names of property owners. A fantastic resource!
Much more to come. Please join our Facebook Page: Washington County Black History Society.
