African Americans in Boyle County

By: Michael Thomas Hughes and Michael J. Denis for the Danville Boyle County African American Historical Society Inc.

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.

Black Bishop

Edward T. Demby and the Struggle for Racial Equality in the Episcopal Church

By: Michael Jay Beary

Demby believed African American assimilation into the white Episcopal church was paved with education and moral rectitude. Thus his move toward integration and equality accommodated more than challenged the status quo. His rise to assistant Episcopal bishop for "colored work" in Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and New Mexico, provides depth to the larger American experience of segregation promulgated as a social good. Demby worked diligently to hire black priests, baptizing and confirming communicants, and building schools and other institutions of community service as a way to draw African Americans back to the Episcopal church. His ministry, writes Beary, "represents the zenith and the demise of Jim Crow in the Episcopal Church." Beary is an independent scholar, an Episcopalian, and former instructor at Lyon College.

Everyone Knows Tootsie

The Life, Wisdom, and Humor of Pioneer Alaskan, Mattie "Tootsie" Crosby

By: Michael Hankins

Mattie "Tootsie" Crosby arrived in Alaska at a time when African American women were viewed as a mere novelty by white people and brown-skinned Natives alike. It was not an easy task living among burly trappers, unsavory miners, and con artists galore. She more than held her own with the odds of survival practically nil. Eventually writing a book about her exploits, the hand-penned memoirs of Everyone Knows Tootsie were unfortunately misplaced and lost to the ages. Only through a miracle of God did author Michael Hankins accidentally stumble across several letters Mrs. Crosby wrote to a California newspaper. These time capsules of faded ink paint a vivid picture of her life in the Last Frontier.

The Turbulent Era

Riot & Disorder in Jacksonian America

By: Michael Feldberg

Using the Philadelphia Native American Riots of 1844 as his model, Professor Feldberg analyzes and contrasts the varieties of collective violence--ethnic, religious, racial, economic, political, vigilante--that beset American cities during the first half of the nineteenth century. In focusing on specific historical events that have much broader significance, Professor Feldberg provides a succinct, readable book that will be of interest to students of American history and criminal justice. A bibliographical essay is included.
