Here,
love
him
Robert
Gordon,
here
to
be
first
tonight
and
I.
Robert
has
very
long
what
I
want
to
say
resume
here:
I
just
a
little
bit
about
some
right,
singer-musician
writer
and
have
a
selective,
african-american
member
of
Ely,
and
that's
what
we're
here
to
hear
about
tonight.
He's
been
involved
with
the
gala
police
Emancipation
Day
celebration,
which
is
what
the
longest
ongoing
emancipation
celebration
in
the
nation
progressive
was
appointed
by
Governor
Kasich
to
the
Martin
Luther
King
jr.
holiday
commission
he's
serving
his
second
term
currently
on
the
Ohio
humanities,
portra
board
of
directors.
B
He
co-founded
the
emancipation
proclamation
scholarship
fund,
which
continues
to
enhance
educational
attainment
by
area
youth
of
african-american
heritage
and
professionally
mr.
Gordon
by
its
technical
operational
facility
services
to
nonprofit
public
and
private
sector
organizations.
Through
this
position
as
project
manager
to
high
university's
school
of
leadership
and
public
affairs
so
anymore,
he
want
to
tell
you
about
that.
He
can
because
it's
quite
quite
an
impressive
resume
and
anyway,
I
just
want
to
welcome
you
tonight
and
I'm
kind
of
excited
about
this.
C
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
so
glad
we
have
a
nice
crowd
here
this
evening,
I
apologize
that
the
weather
didn't
cooperate.
The
last
two
times
we
try
to
schedule
this
so
I
hope
it's
worth
it
this
evening.
So
I
want
to
tell
you
that
I'm
pretty
non-traditional
as
a
speaker,
I
hope
I'm,
not
too
stiff
up
here,
I
like
to
move
a
little
bit
I'd
like
to
talk
and
I'll.
I
do
interact
with
folks.
D
C
Please
let
me
know
raise
your
hand
I'll,
be
happy
to
call
on
you,
as
he
mentioned
yeah
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
resume
that
goes
with
this
rascal.
You
see
up
here
in
front
of
you,
but
well.
It
will
not
go
too
heavy
on
that
this
this
evening,
I
do
have
a
background
in
mental
health
and
drug
and
alcohol
working
in
the
three
counties
of
Gaia
Jackson
makes
I
also
served
as
a
former
city
manager
in
Gallup,
please.
C
So
that's
a
little
bit
of
time
in
there
and,
as
you
mentioned,
a
project
manager
for
ohio
university,
currently
french
art
colony,
Board
of
Directors
in
Gallup,
please,
which
is
where
I
exhibited
for
the
black
history
month
last
year.
So
I
was
very
happy
to
have
my
collection
there
and
then
the
ohio
chautauqua
committee
and
gala
police,
which
is
a
function
of
the
Ohio
humanities
and
then
I
sit
on
the
state
level,
Ohio,
humanity
board
and
then
finally,
the
doctor
mark
martin
luther
king
jr.
C
holiday
commission,
which
I
am
very
very
privileged
to
be
a
part
of
I,
have
some
calendars
over
here
on
the
counter
that
you're
welcome.
To
pick
up,
if
you
would
like
one,
it
commemorates
highlights
pieces
from
dr.
King's
life
as
well
as
excerpts
from
students
that
participated
in
an
oratorical
contest.
So
you
can
get
a
little
taste
of
that
each
month
as
you
go
throughout
the
year.
C
You're
welcome
to
pick
one
of
those
up
if
you
like
before
you
leave
I
wanted
to
begin
tonight
talking
a
little
bit
about
my
particular
background
and
I
wanted
to
begin
with
heritage.
First
and,
as
you
know,
we
all
have
our
mother
signed
our
Father
side,
and
some
of
us
know
a
little
bit
more
about
that
than
others,
and
that's
okay,
but
that's
where
I
began
most
interested
in
collecting.
C
That's
where
it
began
for
me
is
having
wanted
to
know
more
about
my
heritage,
I'm
privileged
to
have
a
few
of
my
own
in
the
audience
tonight,
which
I
won't
embarrass
them.
That
I
have
my
two
sons.
Two
of
my
three
sons
are
here
with
us
this
evening,
so
I'm
glad
to
see
them
yeah
this
evening
on
my
father's
side
owed
Virginia
slaves
in
Mason
County
over
in
West
Virginia,
which
was
considered
old
Virginia.
C
Today
they
came
to
an
area
called
poke
patch
Ohio,
which
we
will
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
as
we
go
on
this
evening,
and
they
did
a
lot
of
work
in
the
furnaces
in
that
particular
area
and
then
went
on
to
become
farmers
so,
and
many
of
them
are
still
in
the
farming
trades
today
trying
to
trying
to
make
a
living
at
the
farm
trees
as
tough
as
it
is
these
days
again
on
my
father's
side,
primarily
african-american
mother's
side.
Again,
the
same
thing,
however,
there's
always
a
little
something
injury
being
in
your
bloodline.
D
C
My
father's
side,
also
irish-american
I,
was
telling
someone
earlier
the
story
of
what
am
I
pretty
quickly.
My
great-great-grandfather
chose
his
bride,
went
to
the
father
and
said
I'd
like
to
have
her
hand
in
marriage.
She
was
not
of
color,
and
the
gentleman
on
the
farm
said
you
got
to
cut
me
enough.
Wood
for
the
winter
and
I'll
give
your
rear
end.
Thinking.
C
I
do
have
relatives
that
sit
on
the
suppori
tribe
of
Ohio
in
Columbus,
so
I
know
this
there,
but
I
haven't
finished
a
research
on
my
own
and
then
the
grandfather
on
that
site
on
my
mother's
side
as
well,
we
know
that
he
came
out
of
Virginia
into
Ohio
as
the
son
of
a
slave
and
we
believe
that
his
father
was
not
of
color
and
probably
from
the
the
farmer,
the
plantation,
where
they
were
at
at
the
time
before
they
came
to
Ohio
she
being
very
dark
skinned
him
being
very
light
skin.
As
her
son.
C
C
Wanted
to
focus
on
two
individuals
under
genealogy,
where
I've
done
some
research
that
I
thought
you
might
be
interested
in
this
evening,
one
on
my
father's
side
and
that's
Frank
Gordon,
and
he
was
my
great
uncle.
So
my
grandfather's
brother
and
then
Henry
Hutchison
senior
on
my
mother's
side,
which
is
my
great-great-grandfather
I.
C
Wanted
to
begin
with,
Frank
Gordon,
because
I
think
that
them
living
here
in
Athens
you'll
find
some
of
his
history
interesting.
He
was
born
in
gallipolis,
ohio
in
1901,
attended
the
Lincoln
colored
school
there.
They
were
actually
two
colored
schools
in
Gallup
a
scene.
He
attended
the
lincoln
school
here
and
his
BS
in
agriculture
in
1925,
that
was
from
ohio
state
university
and
in
nineteen
thirty
got
his
master's
in
agriculture,
poultry
and
back
to
ology.
Excuse
me
for
the
pronunciation
was
his
major.
He
also
had
a
year
in
genetics,
postmasters
at
ohio,
state
university.
C
He
moved
on
into
1930
doing
agriculture
as
an
instructor
at
the
West
Virginia
State
College
of
those
were
normal
schools
at
that
time
predominantly
was
serving
that
african-american
communities-
and
this
is
a
very
interesting
article
here
in
the
crisis
magazine
which
was
put
out
by
the
n-double-a-cp
and
I
know.
You
can't
read
that
that
fine
print
very
well,
but
we're
going
to
get
to
that
in
just
a
moment
so
in
that
would
be
in
1931.
C
Now,
when
you
read
history
here
at
oh
you,
you
can't
find
that
I
thought.
That
was
interesting
because
it
says
it
right
here
in
a
national
magazine.
It
was
proclaimed.
This
was
kind
of
this.
Is
a
society
page,
if
you
will
so
they
put
interesting
tidbits,
but
there
was
a.
There
was
another
reason
why
he
was
not
able
to
fulfill
that
position.
So
let's
look
a
little
closer,
as
I
mentioned,
that
was
from
the
n-double-a-cp
crisis
journal
in
1931
Joseph
Stalin.
C
So
what
he
did
was
he
put
together
a
group
of
new
scholars,
and
he
said
you
know
what
I
can
do
for
you
is
I
can
send
those
scholars,
this
group
of
scholars
over
tea
and
Russia,
and
assist
you
with
the
work
that
you're
trying
to
do
so.
These
individuals
boarded
this
steamship
to
Hamburg
Germany,
moved
on
to
respect
to
scan
Russia.
C
This
particular
information
is
captured
in
this
book
and
you'll
see
a
copy
of
the
book
up
here:
called
blacks,
reds
and
Russians.
My
great
uncle
frank
Gordon
was
one
of
those
Negro
scholars,
so
he
was
chosen
as
an
ambassador
to
Russia
on
the
on
behalf
of
George
Washington
Carver
and
at
the
request
of
mr.
Stalin.
So
that's
the
reason
he
didn't
come
to
owe
you
so.
C
See
this
particular
book
was
written
in
2008.
This
is
carew.
Dr.
Carew
has
a
descendants
that
was
also
a
part
of
that
particular
trip.
So
she
is
very
knowledgeable
a
very
interesting
book.
It's
a
nice
read,
for
example,
it
covers
the
history
of
individual,
like
Paul
Robeson.
It
was
also
over
in
the
Soviet
Union.
At
the
same
time,
just
a
few
quick
points
about
that
I
wanted
to
make
when
they
arrived
over
there.
C
You
know
they
were
seeing
mud-caked
houses,
you
know
with
snow
covered
on
them,
they
were
experiencing
trains
and
camels
and
trucks
and
open-air
carts
pulled
by
donkeys
very
different
than
experience,
and
they
were
having
in
the
States.
For
these,
these
African
Americans
to
go
over
to
Russia
was
holding
the
land.
C
They
worked
in
the
machine
tractor
station,
the
seed
selection
station
of
the
state,
cotton
trust.
They
worked
with
cotton,
sugar
beets,
peanuts
as
foreigners
and
but
also
the
equivalent
of
party
leaders.
They
received
a
special
treatment,
so
their
houses
and
serve
Benson
a
salary
equivalent
of
six
hundred
dollars
per
month,
so
they
were
done
pretty
good.
We
were
doing
pretty
good.
C
They
worked
with
industry
in
Stalingrad
and
Moscow.
They
developed
wrote
from
from
rice
fibers
with
the
Soviet
rice
Institute.
They
taught
irrigation
and
mechanisms.
Excuse
me
mechanisation
also.
They
worked
in
a
tomato
cannery
in
Georgia,
poultry
breeding
farms
and
when
the
time
in
Russia
was
over
with,
they
returned
back
to
the
states
to
be
met
again
with
the
Jim
Crow
era,
so
very
different
experience
for
them
over
overs
overseas.
C
He
want
to
be
published
in
the
science
monthly
preservation
of
small
and
fibia
and
gelatin.
He
worked
at
West
Virginia
State
College.
As
an
agricultural
instructor.
He
also
spent
some
time
at
willow.
First
University
Central,
State
University.
This
is
just
a
college
at
that
time.
Excuse
me
as
well
as
Tuskegee
Institute,
Tennessee
State
College,
a
and
T
college
and
Georgia
State
College.
C
And
if
you
allow
me
to
leave,
imagine
you
are
standing
in
the
doorway
of
an
old
country
church,
the
hardwood
floors
creak
when
you
walk
across
them.
The
walls
are
lined
with
soldiers
of
long
narrow
wooden
each
one
sagging
just
a
little
in
the
middle
halfway
down,
the
aisle
of
the
benches
gave
way
to
a
large
pot
belly
stove
the
room
smells
of
aged
paper,
mothballed,
clothing
and
horehound
candy,
passing
a
kaleidoscope
of
friends
and
neighbors.
B
C
A
C
War
veteran
donated
the
property
to
build
that
very
Church
over
three
generations
of
my
kin
are
buried
between
the
church
and
where
the
old,
how
the
house
is
still
stand,
tall,
Reverend,
Oaks,
lying
the
side
yard.
We
ate
many
a
meal
off
the
wooden
slab
tables
under
their
shade.
The
food
was
good,
the
love
and
the
laughter
plentiful
and
the
music
inspiring
during
my
childhood
I
experienced
the
same
scene
time
after
time.
The
church
has
changed
and
the
people
varied,
but
the
Warren
comfortable
feelings
were
always
consistently
the
same.
C
The
music
of
the
african-american
churches
of
this
region
have
sustained
many
generations,
no
matter
how
far
I
venture
from
these
hallowed
heels.
The
sound
of
music
brings
me
back
home.
Thank
you.
I
delivered
that
monologue
in
March
of
2009
at
the
Appalachian
studies.
Association
conference
on
the
campus
of
shiny
University
I
had
a
completely
different
speech
prepared
that
particular
night,
but
you
know
it
k
this
particular
one
came
to
me
and
as
I
rode
here,
almost
like
a
whisper
from
my
answers.
C
C
Approximately
December
the
26
1861
Henry
escaped
the
more
plantation
by
crossing
the
Ohio
River.
This
particular
piece
that
you
see
here
appeared
in
the
galleys
paper
about
my
grandfather
and
his
brother.
Now
you
see
many
bulletins
about
escaped
slaves,
but
you
don't
often
know
the
families
that
they
were
tied
to.
I
was
very
fortunate
to
find
this
piece
because
speaks
to
my
grandfather
and
if
I
can
read
two
Negro
slaves
belonging
to
mr.
George
Moore
in
Mason,
County
Virginia
named
Henry
and
Daniel
Hutchison
age,
22
and
25
about
five
foot.
C
Eight
inches
in
height,
concluded
to
take
a
trip.
Northward
take
a
trip
northward
for
the
benefit
of
their
health.
That's
what
it
says
it
appears
they
crossed
at
steam,
bergens
ferry,
taking
the
skiff
and
leaving
it
on
the
Ohio
side.
Mr.
more
offers
a
reward
of
two
hundred
dollars
for
their
redelivery.
C
This
kind
of
property
is
just
now
a
very
precarious
tenure,
and
the
best
course
our
neighbors
over
the
river
can
adopt
is
to
get
rid
of
it
as
soon
as
possible.
The
new
constitution
of
Virginia,
adopted
by
pure
point
administration,
may
find
some
means
of
gradually
getting
rid
of
the
black
cattle
that
have
and
are
causing
so
much
trouble.
So
my
great-grandfather
was
worth.
B
C
He
ended
up
in
the
area
of
poke
packs,
as
I
mentioned
before,
but
that
was
not
going
to
be
the
the
end
of
his
individually.
He
poked
patch
was
in
an
area
where
he
worked
as
a
woodcutter
and
it
was
a
unique
community.
There
you
had
whites
and
blacks,
malolos
Native
Americans,
all
living
in
harmony
together.
C
D
C
Poke
patch
now
we
know
that
was
in
1863.
Family
folklore
is
that
he
escaped
twice,
but
what
I
cannot
tell
you
is
that
was
that
was
also
about
the
time
of
the
Emancipation
Proclamation,
so
it
may
have
actually
been.
He
made
it
actually
that
his
freedom
from
the
Emancipation
versus
as
an
additional
escape.
C
This
is
his
military
document
in
1864.
He
would
be
in
the
Civil
War,
the
Colored
Troops.
He
would
come
out
as
a
private
and
he
had
worked
previously
was
written
down
that
he
was
a
cool
year.
My
understanding
is
that
his
professional
charcoal
burner
so
that's
associated
with
his
occupation,
with
the
furnaces
and
18
and
68.
You
would
marry
his
sweetheart
Amanda
Chavez
daughter
of
john
and
mary
chavez.
They
were
abolitionists
in
the
region.
They
would
go
on
to
have
22
children.
D
C
C
C
C
Again,
this
is
john
chavis,
who
I'd
mentioned
earlier,
an
abolitionist
and
remember
the
beloved
society
in
Gallia
County,
as
well
as
other
members
of
pancreas
church,
we're
operators
working
with
the
Underground
Railroad,
their
benevolent
society
or
a
mutual
aid
society.
If
you
will
it's
an
organization
or
volunteer
association
formed
to
provide
mutual
aid
and
benefit
or
insurance
for
relief
of
sundry
difficulties,
so
they
could
also
do
things
for
individuals
like
include
money
or
assistance
for
sickness
retirement,
education,
birth
of
a
child,
funeral
medical
expenses,
etc.
So
those
were
the
roles
of
the
benevolent
society.
C
C
Eighteen,
ninety-nine
is
the
date
of
that
piece,
I'm
going
to
move
on
just
a
little
bit
if
we
could
to
talk
about
another
era,
which
is
is
many
of
the
pieces
that
you
see
in
front
of
you,
and
we
call
that
Jim
Crow
from
the
end
of
the
Civil
War
up
through
the
civil
rights
movement.
You
have
things
such
as
the
klu
klux,
klan,
blackface,
minstrels,
sundown
towns
and
the
Green
Book,
each
of
which
we
will
talk
about
a
little
bit
this
evening.
C
This
first
piece
here
we
cater
only
two
white
trade
appeared
in
a
restaurant
in
Lancaster
Ohio
in
nineteen
and
38
Lancaster
Ohio,
not
the
deep
south
19
and
38
Cincinnati
Ohio,
this
public
swimming
pool,
whites
only
signs
I
think
the
sign
has
a
little
bit
of
history.
I
think
it
was
around
prior
to
this
time
with
this
particular
individual
hung
hung
that
sign
up.
C
The
1980s
I
believe
was
a
time
period
my
apology
and
have
that
date
here
in
front
of
me.
In
Cincinnati
Ohio,
there
was
a
10
year
old,
black
female
that
was
visiting
her
father,
who
was
not
of
color,
and
he
had
allowed
her
to
swim
in
the
pool
of
the
duplex.
They
duplex
owners
said
that
he
had
heard
that
the
chemicals
in
her
hair
called
the
water
to
become
cloudy.
So
that's
he.
They
thought
that
it
was
appropriate
to
put
this
sign
up,
saying
that
it
was
for
whites.
C
What
was
happening
in
the
u.s.
in
the
1860s
anyone
Civil
War
anything
else,
emancipation.
Quite
a
few
things
were
causing
the
buzz.
The
Klan
began
in
approximately
eighteen,
sixty
six
by
six
x,
Confederate
soldiers
gentleman
asked
me
earlier
about
when
they
may
have
started
considered
themselves
to
be
a
social
club.
C
This
particular
word
means
greek
for
circled,
interesting
circle,
so
the
club
much
of
their
behaviors
around
nighttime,
cranks
in
sheets
and
pillowcases,
which
we
have
heard
of
before
in
1867,
the
racism
focus
became
more
prevalent
and
they
elected
their
first
Imperial
wizard
Nathan
forest
in
1869
force
disbanded.
The
group
due
to
threats
of
government
punishment
for
terrorizing
supporters
of
blacks.
C
C
C
C
When
we
think
about
the
Klan,
we
often
think
about
that
them
historically,
not
necessarily.
Currently,
it
is
with
some
dismay
if
you
that
I
have
to
report
to
you
that
the
loyal
white
knights
of
the
ku
klux
klan
still
consider
themselves
to
be
active
and
have
a
role
in
communities
most
recently
they've
put
out
some
material.
Some
of
the
information
on
that
material
is
a
help.
Save
our
race
fighting
for
equal
rights
for
whites,
always
remember
if
it
ain't
white,
it
ain't
right,
white
power.
C
In
addition,
there's
been
some
circulation
of
what
we
refer
to
I
refer
to
as
treat
bags
because
I
don't
know
what
else
you'd
call
them
I'll
pass
this
through
the
audience
as
you'll
see
a
lot
of
pictures
of
a
ziploc
bag
and
has
some
Canyon.
It
also
has
some
information
from
the
pan.
So
the
upper
picture
is
the
piece
that
is
there
that
was
put
out
by
the
plan.
C
C
C
B
C
In
the
book
here,
you'll
find
it
in
the
flip
book
here
you'll
see
a
1924
Klan
rally
notice
a
1925
flag
as
well
as
a
Nazi
lapel
pin.
Now
the
one
thing
I
wanted
to
tell
you
about
the
about
the
the
notice
it's
a
program,
it's
the
with
the
white
frame
around
it.
Here
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
that
program
in
a
parade
at
platt,
National
Park
is,
and
sulphur
Oklahoma,
who
claiming
the
plan
playground
of
the
southwest
meet,
who
plucked
build
the
world's
youngest
clutter.
C
So
you
will
see
a
child
in
a
Ku,
Klux
Klan
outfit
in
that
particular
article.
You
know
the
flag
that
you
see
underneath
the
pieces
here
was
from
Bristol
Tennessee,
possibly
a
event
that
happened
in
that
particular
region
and,
as
I
mentioned,
the
Nazi
pin
what
we
refer
to
as
a
Nazi
pin.
Individuals
today
also
identify
with
that
particular
swastika
to
be
associated
with
this
kind
of
thinking
and
behavior,
whether
it's
actual
or
not,
but
those
individuals
collect
that
kind
of
information
shouldn't
a
get
to
it
as
well.
C
Among
the
other
articles
that
you'll
see
here
is
a
copy
of
Thomas
Dixon's.
Clansmen
from
1905
now
let
me
tell
you
a
little
bit
how
I
came
to
acquire
these
last
couple
of
things
here.
A
lady
in
my
hometown
of
Galla
police
approached
me
at
the
loss
of
her
grandfather
and
she
said.
I
have
a
few
things
of
my
grandfather's
who
recently
passed
away.
C
C
They
are
not
customary
things
that
you
would
get
from
your
grandfather
and
she
did
not
want
to
be
associated
with
them,
but
she
knew
that
I
did
this
kind
of
work
and
she
said
if
you
will
share
it
with
others.
I
would
like
you
to
have
it
because
I
don't
want
to
be
identified
with
so
in
the
trunk
of
her
grandfather's
car.
C
How
important
was
it
to
this
gentleman
his
legacy
in
his
history
with
the
plan,
so
he
would
have
been
wearing
this
just
after
the
turn
of
the
century.
So
and
this
particular
outfit
is
not
from
the
deep
south.
It's
from
the
New
Boston
area,
just
north
of
portsmouth,
ohio,
portsmouth,
ohio,
the
Ku
Klux
Klan,
so
the
flipbook
here
you'll
see
when
I
say
for
the
book.
C
Let
me
show
you
what
I'm
referring
to
is
this
this
notebook
here
it
has
one
of
pages
out
of
this
document
here
and
if
you
look
inside
you'll
see
that
it
says
very
clearly
that
we
of
the
world
outside
of
the
clan
are
not
to
have
these
this
information
and
we're
not
to
be
exposed
to
it.
So
it
would
not
be
acceptable
for
me
to
even
own
these
items,
let
alone
share
them
with
you.
But
again,
the
purpose
for
tonight
is
to
remember
not
to
forget
so
that
we
don't
repeat.
C
Oh,
this
is
the
statement
out
of
out
of
the
excuse
me.
This
is
a
statement
out
of
the
out
of
the
document.
There
I
put
that
on
the
slide,
so
I
will
read
that
to
you,
the
book
or
any
part
of
it
must
not
be
kept
or
carried
where
any
person
of
the
alien
world
may
chance
to
become
acquainted
with
its
sacred
contents.
C
As
such,
pretty
clear
and
that's
the
kind
of
language
it
is
all
the
way
through
the
document
again,
these
were
not
individuals
that
didn't
know
what
they
were
doing
that
were
not
organized
these
gentlemen.
Again,
when
you
read
it,
it
reads
very
much
like
a
document
from
the
Masons
or
any
other
group
that
was
round
at
the
same
period
of
time.
C
Everybody
with
me
so
far
all
right
when
I
move
on
and
talk
a
little
bit
about,
blackface
minstrel
ziff,
we
could
again
blackface
Mitchell's
was
a
exaggerated
stereotype.
It's
been
around
since
the
1830s
individuals
would
use
a
burnt
cork
or
grease
paint
or
shoe
polish,
even
individuals
of
color
to
blacken
their
face
and
then
to
mimic
what
they
consider
to
be
behaviors
of
people
of
color
in
forms
of
skits
and
programs,
music,
etc.
D
C
C
Vogel
went
on
to
become
considered
as
the
minstrel
king,
so
I
thought
that
was
very
interesting.
Chillicothe
Ohio,
the
burnt
corkers
incorporated
circa
nineteen.
Forty
one
came
out
of
lancaster
ohio
and
I
have
a
good
book
here
about
the
work
portrait.
This
is
where
Logan
in
the
barrack
workers-
and
here
you
will
see
different
ads,
etc.
Information
about
the
current
workers,
other
individuals,
one
black
face,
but
they
produce
a
newsletter
that
went
out
folks
and
have
folks
from
all
over
the
country
come
to
be
trained
by
this
organization
was
black.
The
workers
incorporated.
C
C
By
the
burnt
quarters,
and
again,
as
I
mentioned,
dramas,
songs,
skits,
etc
over
there
in
some
of
the
cases
on
the
end,
you
will
find
other
examples
of
blackface
dramas.
There's
a
couple
on
the
end
down
there,
one
large
book
and
one
small
book.
You
also
see
several
other
blackface
characters
here.
These
large
panels
here
are
from
a
Jimmy
Choo
burners,
a
radio
program,
Allison
cinnati
Ohio,
where
he
did
22
voices
on
his
program,
all
in
a
very
strong
African,
American
dialect
or
exaggerated
African
American
dialect,
but.
C
B
D
C
D
C
Right
yeah,
so
they
didn't
want
anyone
in
that
particular
town
that
wasn't
pure.
If
you
will
now.
How
do
we
know?
How
do
we
know
that
son
downtown's
exist
other
than
just
through
floor,
very
interesting
research
done
and
is
captured
in
this
book
called
sundown
towns,
mr.
James
Lowen,
his
work
actually
I
think
he's
out
of
Pennsylvania.
Not
for
sure
about
that
you
could
check.
The
copy
of
the
book
is
up
here
if
you'd
like
to
look
at
it
very
interesting,
but
took
a
look
at
since
census
record
pattern.
C
C
B
C
D
C
C
I
want
to
show
you
a
piece
from
mr.
Ernest
green
who
you
may
know
from
the
civil
rights
movement,
with
a
little
rock
nine
one
of
the
african-american
students
who
braved
death
threats,
as
it
says
here,
in
harassment
at
Central,
High
School
in
Arkansas
in
57,
a
victor
Green
who
is
the
who
was
the
originator
of
the
green
book,
said.
The
green
book
was
one
of
the
survival
tools
of
segregated
life.
C
C
They
start
putting
us
together.
In
36,
34
went
national
in
37.
It
was
free
at
the
time
Tenzin's
to
have
it
mailed
to
you
and
sponsored
by
the
esso
Standard
Oil
training
service.
He
got
any
one
memory,
so
young
yeah,
yeah
and
a
lot
of
individuals
to
identify
hotels,
boarding
houses,
restaurants,
beauty
shops,
barber
shops
and
other
services.
Now,
why
do
you
think
that
was
important
for
african-americans
to
know
where
those
places
were
they
were
welcomed
as
they
were
traveling
across
the
country.
B
D
C
That
was
definitely
true.
Definitely
true.
So,
ladies,
if
you
were
to
come
into
athens
today
and
you
wanted
to
have
your
hair
done,
but
you
were
not
welcome
in
the
bark
and
the
beauty
shops
in
Athens.
Let's
save
one.
Would
that
not
be
important
for
you
to
know
where
that
one
was
yes,
even
more
personal,
if
there
were
only
two
stops
in
Athens,
where
you
could
actually
go
in
and
use
the
bathroom,
would
that
not
be
important,
as
you
were,
travelling
through
yeah.
D
C
C
So
you
can
find
a
place
to
eat
nice
to
use
the
facilities
a
place
to
get
your
hair
done
a
place
to
stay
overnight
if
you
needed
to
etc,
I'm
sure
there
are
individuals
in
the
room
now
that
can
tell
stories
of
your
families
traveling,
you
always
had
sandwiches
in
the
car,
I
always
had
something
to
drink
in
the
car,
I
was
had
a
little
toilet
paper
in
the
car.
He
didn't
leave
home
without
those
kinds
of
things,
and
it
always
wasn't
just
true
for
people
of
color,
sometimes
country
folks.
C
C
Mr.
green
wrote
in
his
book
would
be
necessary
up
when
we
as
a
race
will
have
equal
opportunities
and
privileges.
That
was
his
goal
and
he
died
in
nineteen.
Sixty
nineteen
sixty
I
wish
he
could
have
lived
through
the
1960s
to
see
much
of
his
dream.
Realized
1964,
Civil,
Rights
Act
made
the
green
book
and
similar
publications
obsolete.
C
C
You
can
find
the
56
green
book
online
and
again
the
56
through
the
digital
collections,
has
an
interactive
map,
so
you
can
actually
look
at
the
stops
on
a
map
across
the
country
that
were
recorded
in
that
particular
year,
and
each
year
was
a
little
bit
different,
where
the
stops
were
places
being
torn
down
of
as
being
added,
etc,
and
in
2010
there
was
actually
a
play
called
the
green
book
by
Calvin
Ramsey.
Since
then,
there
has
also
been
a
youth
library
book
that
is
out
about
the
green
book.
