The Penny Savings Bank, founded by
Reverend William Reuben Pettiford in
Birmingham in 1890, was the first black-
owned and operated financial institution in
Alabama. Created as a necessity of de facto
and later codified segregation, the bank backed
and encouraged development of black
businesses, especially in urban areas, as well as
savings by African Americans, until its closing
in 1915. This building is in a district that has
long symbolized black life in Birmingham. For
more than a century, the district served
as a dynamic center of social life and
professional achievement. Although now
diminished by the demolition of some
buildings and the dispersal of the black
population that has come with integration and
suburban expansion, the district retains its
identity and association with the black
community.

Alain Locke (1886-1954), one of the
leading intellectuals of the 20th century and
the nation's first black Rhodes Scholar, was a
central figure in the New Negro Renaissance.
Born in Philadelphia, Locke graduated Phi
Beta Kappa from Harvard University. In 1925
he edited The New Negro, an
anthology of prose, poems, and art that helped
define this critical cultural movement.
Although usually associated with Harlem,
Locke called Washington home. Beginning in
1912, he taught English, education, and
philosophy for more than 40 years at Howard
University. Locke was a leader in the national http://ww

Washington and Julius Rosenwald, the
Rosenwald rural school building program
worked to improve African American
education throughout the South in the early
twentieth century. The project began in
Alabama when Washington used money
donated to Tuskegee University from
Rosenwald to construct six schools for African
Americans. From here, the project expanded
and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius
Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent
financial support for the school program. By
1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of
the South’s African American
schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued
to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald
died and funding for the program discontinued.
By this time, the program had produced 4,977
new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163
shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of
$28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883
counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools
continued operating into the 1950s.

the successful Angelus Funeral Home.
Run by J.G. Robinson, Lorenzo Bowdin, and
John Lamar Hill Sr, the Angelus Funeral Home
was known throughout Los Angeles for its
dedication and professionalism.
Breaking from traditional styles for funerary
buildings, Williams incorporated many
innovative ideas into his design, such as large
banks of windows looking out on
gardens. Williams' mindful
consideration for both the living and dead won
the building praise from both architectural
critics and the local African American

traditionally served as leaders. The Designed by the famous African

Huntington, noted sculptress, purchased
Brookgreen and three adjoining plantations in
January of 1930 as their site for a winter home
and as a setting for Mrs. Huntington's
sculpture. Construction of the house began the
following winter. The home was named
"Atalaya", a Spanish term for watchtower.
Archer Huntington, a noted authority on
Spanish history, designed the house after the
Moorish architecture of the Spanish
Mediterranean Coast.Atalaya was
built over a three year period, from 1931 to
1933, apparently without detailed written
plans. Work on the building was not
continuous, but divided between Atalaya and
Brookgreen Gardens. Archer Huntington,
wanting to provide work opportunities for
community residents during the Great
Depression, insisted that local labor be utilized
in its construction.The outer walls of

Circa 1911. Architect Archibald Alexander
designed this site. Alexander became the State
University of Iowa’s first black
engineer and football player when he earned
his Bachelor of Science degree in 1912. Once
graduating, Alexander attempted to find
engineering work but experienced severe
racism and discrimination. As a result, he
began his own engineering company, A.A.
Alexander, Inc. in 1914. In order to expand his
business, he partnered with white contractor
George F. Higbee in 1917. Although interracial
businesses were extremely rare during this
period, the two ran a successful firm and
renamed the company Alexander &
Higbee, Inc. In 1925 Higbee
unexpectedly died in a construction accident,
making Alexander the sole proprietor of the
engineering firm again. He worked on projects
independently again until 1929 when he began
to work with Maurice A. Repass, his second
white business partner. This partnership proved
to be particularly successful. While together,
the team expanded their business efforts to a
national scale and opened up a second office in
Washington, DC. After a successful career in Red 2901 5th

Taylor is by some accounts the first
accredited African American Architect in the
United States. Taylor became the first African
American at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology when he enrolled in
1888. Tyler designed most of the
buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed
prior to 1932, and even served as second-in-
command to Tuskegee's founder and first
President, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Taylor's
first building on the Tuskegee University
campus was the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall)
completed in 1893. The new Science Hall was
constructed entirely by students, using bricks
made also by students under Taylor's
supervision. The project epitomized
Washington's philosophy of instilling in
Tuskegee students, the descendants of former
enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of
physical labor and it provided an example to
the world of the capabilities of African
Americans in the building trades, and it
underscored the larger potential of the manual
training curricula being developed at 1200 W

Ashley Hall Plantation, established in the
early 1670s, is one of the earliest settlements
on the Ashley River. The plantation was
established by Stephen Bull, an English settler
who arrive in Carolina in 1670. Bull and his
descendants (including William Bull and
William Bull, Jr.) who lived on the plantation
were prominent in such diverse areas as
government, science, engineering, agriculture,
and military affairs. The Bull family lived at
Ashley Hall until 1865, when the plantation
house was burned to prevent its destruction by
Union forces. The Ashley Hall property
contains one of the oldest standing houses in
the state (a small ca. 1675 tabby-walled house
with a 20th century second story addition), the
ruins of the Georgian plantation house (1704)
which was burned in 1865, the monument to

Founded in 1928 by William Alexander
Scott, The Atlanta Daily World
became the nation's first African
American daily newspaper. Throughout the
1930s the newspaper became increasingly
popular in the Deep South, and recieved
funding through advertisements from both
black and white businesses. During the civil
rights movement the paper became criticized
for not supporting sit-ins held in downtown
Atlanta. Despite this criticism, Scott continued
to run the paper until he retired in 1997 and
passed down his position to his great niece,
Alexis Scott Reeves.

Auburn's first separate black community
cemetery offers a rich source of the city's black
heritage. Much of the history is oral, but we do
know that a white man gave most of the
land in the early 1870s. The four acre cemetery
contains over 500 marked graves and many
unmarked. The oldest grave is dated 1879.
Those interred here are a cross section of the
city's blacks. Many were born into slavery but
later succeeded in teaching or business. The
cemetery continues to be used and maintained
by the City of Auburn. Though located at the
base of a slope, the cemetery derives its name
from Ebenezer Baptist Church on a hill to the
west. When established in
1865, Ebenezer became the first
black churched formed in Auburn after the
Civil War. The church building was erected
before 1870 on land donated by Lonnie Payne,
a white man. The prominent church gave the
area the name "Baptist Hill." Its members were
the first buried in the cemetery although Auburn?s first separate black
members of other black churches are now community cemetery offers a rich
interred here. source of the city?s black heritage.

the Civil Rights movement was thrust into full
swing with the 1960 Greensboro sit-in, black
attorney Samuel Tucker led his own sit-in at
the Alexandria Public Library, now the Barrett
Branch Library. Samuel Tucker was a lawyer
from an educated middle-class African
American family. Noting the keen injustice of
segregation, especially the inequality of the
public school system and lack of a truly public
library in Alexandria, Tucker wanted to induce
the City government to give more benefits to
its black citizens. In 1937, the Free Library
opened in Alexandria, although its name was
not representative of the services it provided to
the community. African Americans were still
denied library cards at this facility even though
their tax dollars contributed to its construction.
After several attempts to argue his case for a
true public library, Tucker organized a protest
in August 1939. Tucker instructed five African
Americans to go into the reading room and
refuse to leave. He also stated that there would In August 1939, more than 20 years

Moore Hotel building sits in the heart of civil
rights history in Montgomery along with other
important landmarks such as Dexter Avenue
King Memorial Baptist Church, the King
parsonage, First Baptist Church, and the city of
St. Jude. Located at High and Jackson streets,
the four-story Ben Moore offered lodging, a
safe place for meetings, and a vibrant social
life free from the bigotry and hostilities of the
Southern white racism of the 1950s and '60s.
Even today in the basement is an evocative
barbershop full of civil rights-era news pictures
and portraits, including one of its most famous
customers, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.,
when he lived in the now-restored parsonage

Bethel Baptist Church is the oldest

independent African American congregation in
Sassafras and one of the oldest in Gloucester
County. Bethel dates from the 19th century,
when Sassafras Stage and nearby Allmond's
Wharf were at the peak of their activity as hubs
of commerce and transportation. Bethel was
one of several black Baptist churches founded
during the Reconstruction era. In 1867, Dr. L.
Cattlett Stubbs donated one acre of land to his
formerly enslaved butler, James F. Lemon. Mr.
Lemon and other pious individuals used the
land for their church; first meeting on crude
benches under bush arbors, then constructing a
small but well-built church with an altar
railing, pulpit, and gallery. The present
sanctuary dates to 1889. The chairmen of the
building committee were carpenter George
Leigh and bricklayer / plasterer Thomas
Calhoun Walker, Sr. (father of lawyer T.C.
Walker, who is buried in the cemetery next to Bethel Baptist Church is the oldest
Bethel Church). Five daughter churches independent African American

This African American neighborhood

became a transportation hub for railroads and
car traffic by the 1870s. This rise in
transportation attracted many industrial
jobs to the area. In addition to its
industrial location, the town also had a vibrant
religious community with several churches in
the neighborhood. Walter S. Hornsby, Sr., the
founder of the prominent Pilgrim Health and
Life Insurance Company, also resided in
Bethlehem. Today, the historic district
contains many original structures from the late
nineteenth and early twentieth century.

American residence in Mobile, Alabama,
United States. It was the residence of Bettie
Hunter, a former slave who grew wealthy from
a successful hack and carriage business she
operated in Mobile with her brother, Henry.
The fall of New Orleans during the American
Civil War had made Mobile the South's only
major port on the Gulf of Mexico.
Transportation of goods to and from the port
depended on the city's teamsters and their
horse or mule-drawn wagons. Bettie Hunter
was part of a group of African Americans who
recognized the opportunities in the carriage
business and she cornered this part of the
transportation market in Mobile. Built in
1878, the Hunter House is an
exceptional example of 19th century
residential architecture for an African
American in the Deep South. The two-story
Italianate house matches Mobile's white-
owned residences of the period in scale and
detail. Bettie Hunter died at the age of 27, only
one year after the house was finished. She was

Julius Rosenwald was one of the most

Although Rosenwald was a successful
businessman, his philanthropic work has
always overshadowed his financial success.
His involvement in providing grants to build
schools for African Americans across the
South, including Arkansas, contributed greatly
to the creation of better educational
opportunities for Arkansas's African-American
population.In 2002, Rosenwald Schools gained
national attention when the National Trust for

Club reamins the city's oldest art organization
run by artists and patrons. Della Dryer, Willie
McLaughlin, Alice Rumph, and Mamie
Holfield established the society to bring art to
the the Birmingham community. In 1940 the
society began to raise funds to create an art
museum in the city. They finally achieved this
goal in 1951 when the Birmingham Museum
of Art was founded. Today both the museum
and art club remain an integral part of the
Birmingham art community. The museum
houses one of the finest collections of art in the
Southeast that contains a wide variety
of works including, Asian, European,
American, African, Pre-Columbian, and Native
American art. While the art club continues to
host its annual Sidewalk Art Show and
the Festival of Arts.

Blagden Alley is a historic district defined
by middle-class residences, churches, and
small apartment buildings which display a rich
variety of Victorian architectural styles dating
from the 1860s to the 1890s. In the interior of
each block are extant examples of utilitarian
alley dwellings, such as working class
residences, stables, and commercial buildings
that are hidden behind the buildings facing the
streets. The area illustrates how different
classes, races, and services were physically
organized in the 19th-century city of
Washington.The names Blagden Alley and
Naylor Court were derived from two 19th-
century property owners, Thomas Blagden and

Booker T. Washington represents one of
two early black high schools in Kanawha
County during the early part of the 20th
century. Its construction in eastern Kanawha
County for the Cabin Creek District opened
educational opportunities for young students.
The Streamlined Modern style brick
construction has remained unchanged and
represents the period of the late 1930s when
the building was enlarged to serve an
increasing student enrollment. The
development of Booker T. Washington High
School came about because of a frustration that
no educational facilities were available, in the
area of eastern Kanawha County and Fayette
County, for African Americans to have
opportunities for higher learning after the
eighth grade. Any attempt to higher education,
meant that students had to attend classes at Booker T. Washington represents one

In 1922, Dr. Winston Hackett, the first

black physician in Phoenix and the first
African-American doctor to practice medicine
in Arizona, opened the Booker T. Washington
Hospital at 14th St and Jefferson
St. Dr. Hackett's office
was located on the 2nd floor of the former Ellis
Building on Second Street and Washington,
where Symphony Hall now stands. Even
though racial segregation existed in Phoenix,
Dr. Hackett cared for people of all races and is
credited for saving many lives during the flu
epidemic of 1918. In 1921, he founded the
Booker T. Washington Hospital on land next to
his home where he had special cabins to care
for tubercular patients. In 1943,
when Dr. Hackett began to lose
his eyesight, he converted the hospital to the
Winston Inn, a rooming house,
and received a contract from the Federal

death of its schoolmistress Mrs. Anne Wager
in 1774, the Bray School in Williamsburg, the
royal capital of Virginia, was a success
although it faced indifference and even
opposition from some local planters and slave
owners. As many as thirty black
children at a time, enslaved and free, were
taught the rudiments of the Christian religion
as well as skills such as reading, and in the
case of girls, sewing. They were
general encouraged in good manners and
deportment and taught other social
graces. It is most likely the oldest
extant building in the United States associated
with black education.
The Williamsburg Bray School was born
from a number of initiatives undertaken by the
Associates of Dr. Bray, one of several

Brown Chapel was organized in 1866,
when members of a local prayer movement
met in the basement of a Selma hotel and
decided to discontinue their affiliation with the
Methodist Church. The members applied for
admission into the African Methodist Church
and in 1867 were admitted to the Convention.
The first frame building was erected on the
current site in 1869. In 1908 the present church
was constructed. Brown Chapel is closely
associated with the 1965 voting rights
campaign of the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference (SCLC). This site marks
the beginning spot of the SCLC march
from Selma to Montgomery for voting rights.
Today Brown Chapel is one of the most widely

rights movement of the 1960s and is still used Martin

Bryce Canyon is a small national park in
southwestern Utah. Named after the Mormon
Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, Bryce Canyon
became a national park in 1924. Bryce is
famous for its worldly unique geology,
consisting of a series of horseshoe-shaped
amphitheaters carved from the eastern edge of
the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. The
erosional force of frost-wedging and the
dissolving power of rainwater have shaped the
colorful limestone rock of the Claron
Formation into bizarre shapes including slot
canyons, windows, fins, and spires called
"hoodoos." Tinted with colors too numerous
and subtle to name, these whimsically arranged
rocks create a wondrous landscape of mazes,

Booker T. Washington once owned this
building. Booker Taliaferro Washington (April
5, 1856-November 14, 1915) was an American
educator, orator, author, and a dominant
leader of the African-American community
nationwide from the 1890s to his death. Born
to slavery and freed by the Civil War in 1865,
as a young manhe became head of the new
Tuskegee Institute, then a teachers college for
blacks. The Institute became his
base of operations. His "Atlanta Exposition"
speech of 1895 asked southern whites to
give blacks a chance to work and develop
separately, while implicitly promising not to
demand the vote for African Americans. This
speech widely appealed to middle class whites
across the South. White leaders across the
North, from politicians to industrialists, and
philanthropists to churchmen, enthusiastically
supported Washington, as did most middle
class blacks. He was the organizer and central
figure of a network linking like-minded black
leaders throughout the nation and in
effect was a prominent voice for black 115 W

Architect William Cooke designed this
site. Originally from Greenville, South
Carolina, Cooke attended Claflin University
from 1888 to 1893 and studied architectural
drawing under Robert Charles Bates. In
October 1894 Cooke was elected by the
trustees of Georgia State Industrial College for
Colored Youth in Savannah as superintendent
of the Industrial Department. At the school, he
added carpentry and masonry into the Manual
Training Department and also designed
buildings for the university’s
campus. In 1897 Cooke returned to
Claflin to teach and continue his education. In
1902 he graduated with his Bachelor of
Science in technology degree. Afterwards,
Cooke went on to have an extremely
successful career. From 1921-1929 he owned
his own firm in Gary, Indiana and became the
first African American to be licensed to
practice architecture in the state of Indiana.

1857From 1835-57, Rev. Robert
Burwell and his wife, Margaret Anna,
established a very successful school for girls at
this site. Their on-site household included the
Burwells, their 12 children, 11 slaves, and the
school's boarding students (usually 6 to 10
young women). In the 20 years of its
existence, the Burwell School educated
approximately 180 young women within its
liberal arts curriculum. Mrs. Burwell's letters
and diaries from these years are a part of the
site's collection and are the basis for our
understanding of life in a North Carolina
household, as well as women's education in
antebellum North Carolina. One of the
Burwell slaves, Elizabeth Hobbes Keckley,
wrote a memoir which included her time at the
Burwell School, and this resource, combined
with Mrs. Burwell's writings, helps us interpret

The Prairie-style Bush-Dubisson House is

Dubisson House is remembered by older
African-Americans in Little Rock as a home
they very much admired in their youth: a
beautiful brick residence with a large, well-
manicured lawn encircled by a neatly-trimmed
hedge. The house was considered the

Hampton Cottage, the residence of the
principal of the Calhoun Colored School, is the
last surviving structure reflecting the influence
of the Hampton-Tuskegee vocationalism on
black education at the turn of the century. The
house, built between 1900-1910, was
originally one of six teachers cottages and has
been used by the principal since 1947, when
Thorn Cottage, the original residence of the
founder and principal, was destroyed by fire.
The Calhoun Colored School was established
in 1892, with the support of General Samuel
Armstrong and Booker T. Washington, by
Charlotte R. Thorn and Mabel Dillingham. The
two women had taught together at Hampton
Institute. Thorn made Calhoun into one of the
most influential black schools in the South.
The success of the school was attributed to her
program of vocational education and
community work, which continued until 1932.
In 1943, the state of Alabama acquired the
school, and the Lowndes County Board of
Education assumed responsibility for
supervising Calhoun as a public school. Today,
the Calhoun School remains a predominatley Red County
black rural public school. /forum/african-american- Leader Road 33, african-

The Camp Washington-Carver Complex
was completed in 1942 by the Works Progress
Administration (WPA), which combined
federal, local, and state agencies with local
manpower. Construction of the facility grew
out of a movement in teh late 1930s to provide
the state's black youth with outdoor
recreational facilities and to establish a
complex of the quality of that offered to white
youth. The facility nurtures the cultural
heritage embodied in the site since its
dedication in 1942 as a 4-H camp for West

Edward Pryce. Edward Pryce has been an artist
since he was nine-years-old. Although he was
praised and encouraged by an art teacher at his
Los Angeles, California school, it would be
many years before Edward would be known to
the public as an artist. With advanced degrees
in Landscape Architecture, he became
Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds at
Tuskegee University. Here, he used the
school's machine shop tools and abandoned
wood to begin his life as a sculpture. Edward
attributes his think large attitude to his training
in landscape design. Edward uses his artwork
to promote the history and heritage of his
African and Egyptian ancestors. He wants the
youth of today to find themselves in artwork
that represents their ancient past. Edward's first
work with copper began by making woodcuts.
Copper sheets were pressed into the woodcuts
to form a raised pattern. Today, he creates his
copper repouss pieces by first making a sketch
on Mylar, then using a stylus to trace the lines
onto copper. The copper is turned over and
pressed to create the three-dimensional Red
appearance of low relief. Pryce's art is /forum/african-american- Leader

Margaret Murray Washington once

owned this building. Washington, born
March 9, 1865, was one of ten children born to
sharecroppers. Her father was of Irish descent
and her mother was African American. Murray
attended Fisk University for eight years and
graduated in 1889. The following year she
became Lady Principal at Tuskegee Institute
where she met Booker T. Washington. In 1892
she married Washington, becoming his third
wife. Murray wrote Washington's speeches,
assisted him in expanding the school, and
accompanied him on lecture tours as his fame
grew. Her own presentations usually directed
at audiences of African American women,
promoted what she termed self-improvements
in habits and hygiene. Murray also served on
Tuskegee's executive board and later became
dean of women.

Constructed in 1915, the Patton House is

the only primary structure known to be
associated with Dave Patton, a successful
black businessman in Mobile in the early 20th
century. Patton operated a hauling and
wrecking business from a downtown office on
Royal Street. Patton was described in 1910 as
one of Mobile's most prominent contractors in
the dray business. His 14-year old business at
that time employed 40 mules and 80 hands.
Patton maintained a close relationship with
Booker T. Washington, but the two men
apparently did not share the same business
philosophy. Patton's business depended on a
largely white clientele. This practice insulated
his business as other black owned businesses Martin
failed as blacks migrated to other cities. The Red Luther

Established in 1877, this church has been
an integral aspect of the African American
community in Birmingham since its founding.
In 1887 Alabama State University (then
the Alabama Colored Peoples
University), held its first courses in the
church. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. also
used the church facilities in the 1950s to run
the Montgomery Bus Boycott. In 1954 King
became the pastor of the church once he
attained his PhD from Boston University. His
time at the church deeply influenced
his views on non-violence and
community organizing that would later become
integral to his civil rights work. Today
theDexter Avenue Baptist
Church retains an active congregation
and opens its doors to visitors who wish
to tour the historic church. 454

parsonage when he was minister of the church
between 1954 and 1960. On January 31, 1956,
following the successful Montgomery bus
boycott, King's home was bombed by local
segregationists. At the time, King was at a
meeting, but his wife, Coretta Scott King, was
at the parsonage with her ten-week-old
daughter Yolanda Denice, also known as
"Yoki." After King had verified that both were
unhurt, he addressed the angry crowd of
African Americans outside. "Don't do anything
panicky," he advised. "I did not start this
boycott. I was asked by you to serve as your
spokesman. I want it to be known the length
and breadth of this land that if I am stopped,
this movement will not stop." In February
1957, when King was alone in the parsonage
with Morehouse College friend Bob Williams,
something disturbed King. He told Williams
they should leave the parsonage immediately.
Several hours later, after the two men had gone
to Williams' house, a bomb exploded outside

American tavern owner in Alexandria in the
early 1800s. He may have been the first black
man to operate such a public house that was
visited only by respectable persons. The
Barecroft tavern is significant because it
represents a thriving business under African
American ownership in a time before the Civil
War. Dominick was sold to David Henderson
in 1800 for two hundred dollars; he gained his
freedom three months later. Barecroft was able
to buy his wife Esther and free her in 1804.
Dominick operated a tavern on the 300 block
of North Fairfax Street as early as 1803, and he
also sold a variety of foods, including fresh
fruit and pickled oysters. In 1817, Dominick
bought a house and lot at 315 Cameron Street.
The tavern operated here until 1824. Dominick
Barecroft died at the age of 68 in 1830, leaving
his estate to his second wife Sarah and his two
sons, William and Ephriam. He was
characterized in the newspaper obituary as a
very respectable black man. He was

More than twenty-five farm structures,
dating from 1888 to 1930, remain on the
Dortch plantation. The farming operations at

growing hay and corn for feeding cattle and
mules, and the creation of dairy products.

to replace the overcrowded Old Stone Church.
Construction of Douglas School was begun
that year, with funds from the Handley trust,
and a parade of 1,000 people, nearly a mile

Three years later there was another parade, as
150 students and six teachers marched from
the old school to the new one. This new facility
had six classrooms, offices, restrooms with
showers, a projection room where movies
could be shown, and a branch of the Handley
Library for Negro citizens. Here generations of
African American children from Winchester
and the surrounding area studied through grade
9. Those who wanted more education had to go
elsewhere, and they did. In 1938, of a

occupations in his life, including WPA artist
and World War II shipyard electrician, that
serve as an insight into the lives of his

Dry Fork Plantation is a historic plantation
house in Coy, Alabama. Built between 1832
and 1834, this two-story wood-frame
house provides an example of a
vernacular interpretation of Federal style
architecture. James Asbury Tait's two slaves,
Hezekiah and Elijah, built the home. The floor
plan is centered on a hall that separates four
rooms, two on each side, on both floors. Tait
recorded in his daybook that the house
required 25,000 board feet of lumber, 6,000
wooden shingles for the roof, and 12,000
bricks, made from clay on the plantation, for
the chimneys and foundation. Dry Fork is one
of the oldest houses still standing in Wilcox

designed hundreds of structures throughout the

residences, fraternal buildings, one of the

many churches. His buildings were backdrops
for the civil rights movement of the 1960s; in
some cases, they became synonymous with the
struggle. 
Born in Georgia in 1873, Wallace Rayfield
was a gifted draftsman who graduated from

degrees from both Pratt Polytechnic Institute
and Columbia University. Booker T.
Washington, director of Tuskegee Normal and

Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal
(AME) Church, like Mobile's other black
congregations of the 19th century, evolved
from a desire on the part of black
congregations to continue religious services as
their white parent churches strove to
disassociate themselves from the black
membership. Trustees for Emmanuel AME
Church purchased a vacant lot for their church
in 1869, and the building was lengthened and a
new facade was added by 1891. Emmanuel
AME Church raised enough money to hire a
prominent white architect, James F.
Hutchisson, for the design of the facade. As a
result, the architecture is comparable to
contemporary white churches in Mobile and is
superior to both black and white rural churches
of the period. Unaltered since the 1890s, this
building stands as Mobile's only Gothic
Revival church constructed for a black
congregation. The original wood frame

Eppington was built c. 1770 by Francis
Eppes, VI, the cousin of Martha Jefferson and
Jefferson's brother in law, having married
Martha's sister Elizabeth Wayles. They were
close and when Jefferson went to France, he
left his two motherless youngest daughters,
Lucy Elizabeth and Mary, with the Eppes.
Lucy died, and Jefferson, grief stricken, sent
for Sally Hemings to bring Mary to France.
Sally and her family, including her sister Critta
lived at Eppington as well as Monticello and
other family properties. Frances Eppes, VI at
any given time in his adult life owned
hundreds of slaves. He came to slavery the old
Virginia way: through inheritance and
marriage. Because his father in law, John
Wayles of Forest in Charles City County, died
in debt both Eppes and his brother in law
Thomas Jefferson struggled to settle the estate.
A great portion of that estate was comprised of
slaves. For, along with more genteel titles,

Welty regularly donated manuscripts,
correspondence, and photographs to the
Department of Archives and History. In 1986,
she deeded her Pinehurst Street home to the
Department, subject to a life-estate interest.
Today, in the wake of Miss Welty's death and
in continuing gratitude for her generous gifts,
the Foundation is even more committed to its
original mission. In particular, the
Eudora Welty Foundation and the Department
of Archives and History envision the Welty
home as providing an active literary experience
that will enhance the understanding of Welty's
life and work for visitors from across America
and around the world. The first project of the
Welty Foundation has been underway for the
past two years--the restoration of the property's
garden, created and carefully maintained by
Miss Welty's mother during her lifetime. The

by an archival gardener, who will continue to

Society of Friends (Quakers) by George Fox.

received the land from William Penn as a gift.
The present burial ground was laid out in 1843
and enlarged in 1853, providing almost five
acres of green space in this urban
neighbohood. Most of the persons buried at

its beginning on the first Sunday of August in

dramatically. One change has been the location
of the church buildings. The first meetings
were held in a log cabin on Byrne Street. The
congregation relocated to a wood frame
building on Pine Street, then to a brick

worshipped in the Manley Memorial Church,
the Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian
Church. African Americans felt the need of a
church of their own. Sermons were
continuously preached from the text, "Servants
be obedient to your masters at all times." Being
children of the living God, they realized that it
was he to whom they owed allegiance. Loyal
were they as slaves and servants but they
longed for a supreme mater, the true friend, the
everlasting Father. This body of worshipers
was know as the Black Baptists. On September
22, 1867, the group was permitted to withdraw
and organize as the Lexington African Baptist
Church. They were counseled, best wishes
were extended and friendly feelings prevailed.
Meetings were held in many places to the
church that stood on the land next to the

The First Baptist Church is one of the
major landmarks associated with the civil
rights rallies and demonstrations of the mid-
1960s that led to the passage of the Voting
Rights Act of 1965. The congregation was
organized in the early 1840s by a freed slave,
Samuel Phillips, and shared its church building
with a white congregation. Shortly after the
Civil War, the white congregation bought out
claims of the African Americans, who then
constructed a new building on St. Phillips
Street. The church also played a significant
role as the headquarters for the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee
(SNCC) and as a food and clothing
distribution center for needy persons. This site
also played a significant role in the Selma to

mission today, as officially described by the
Board of Trustees in a statement most recently
revised in 1986, remains that of an institution
committed to teaching, to the liberal arts, and
to the preparation of leaders. Fisk also is
committed to involving both its faculty and its
most advanced students in original research -
since the passing on of the liberal arts tradition
is not merely the transmission of dead or static
knowledge; rather the liberal arts tradition
involves the recognition that knowledge is
continually developing. As stated formally in
the March, 1986 statement of the Fisk
University Board of Trustees, the mission of
Fisk is to provide liberal arts education of the
highest quality. The ultimate goal is to prepare
students to be skilled, resourceful, and
imaginative leaders who will address

Rosenwald School. circa 1930-31. Julius
Rosenwald was one of the most significant
figures in Southern black education. Although
Rosenwald was a successful businessman, his
philanthropic work has always overshadowed
his financial success. His involvement in
providing grants to build schools for African
Americans across the South, including
Arkansas, contributed greatly to the creation of
better educational opportunities for Arkansas?s
African-American population.In 2002,
Rosenwald Schools gained national attention
when the National Trust for Historic
Preservation named all Rosenwald Schools one
of America?s eleven most endangered places.

In 1917, Fort Des Moines became the first
Officer Candidate School for African
American men in the U. S. Army. Of
the 1,250 men recruited by W. E. B. DuBois
and Joel Spingarn, 639 earned commissions as
captians and first and second
lieutenants. Following this class, 104
doctors and 12 dentists earned commissions as
the first African American medical officers in
the Army. All of these men served with
the 92nd Division in France and many of them
became prominent in civilian affairs after the
war. During World War II, the camp
broke ground again when it introduced the first
Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. In
1942, the first African American women
earned commisions in the WAAC at the
fort. By becoming one of the first
military sites to train African Americans and
women, Fort Des Moines remains historically
significant for its role in leading the way for
racial and gender equality in the Army.

Circa 1952. Fort Laramie, the military

post, was founded in 1849 when the army
purchased the old Fort John for $4000, and
began to build a military outpost along the
Oregon Trail. For many years, the Plains
Indians and the travelers along the Oregon
Trail had coexisted peacefully. As the numbers
of emigrants increased, however, tensions
between the two cultures began to develop. To
help insure the safety of the travelers, Congress
approved the establishment of forts along the
Oregon Trail and a special regiment of
Mounted Riflemen to man them. Fort Laramie
was the second of these forts to be established.
The popular view of a western fort, perhaps
generated by Hollywood movies, is that of an Red
enclosure surrounded by a wall or stockade. Circa 1952. This site is associated /forum/african-american- Leader

Monroe is located at Old Point Comfort, where
ships carrying the first Africans to Virginia
undoubtedly passed as they entered the colony.
When the fort was under construction (1819 -
34), slaves hired from local plantations
performed much of the labor. Early in the Civil
War at Fort Monroe, Major General Benjamin
Butler made his famous "contraband" decision
whereby escaping slaves who reached Union
lines would not be returned to servitude. A
large refugee population settled near the fort,
providing recruits for two regiments of cavalry
and one light artillery battery organized here.
In 1864, the Army of the James was formed at
Fort Monroe, including several regiments of
U.S. Colored Troops. Abolitionist Harriet
Tubman worked here as matron of the
Contraband Hospital as the war ended. The
regional headquarters of the Freedmen's

Constructed during the Civil War, Fort
Reno provided Union troops with a fort on the
highest ground in the city. During the Civil
War, African Americans moved to this site
looking for freedom and economic
opportunity. After the war, the area became an
integrated community in which black and
white residents built their own homes. Much of
this housing remained until the 1920s when the
Tenleytown community and federal agencies
decided to build Woodrow Wilson High
School, Alice Deal Junior High School, and a
park on the grounds where the majority of
these families lived. This development pushed
out the families who had lived in the
community since the nineteenth century and
forced the neighborhood’s African
American children into segregated schools.

the battle, the site also became the only

president saw combat, when President
Abraham Lincoln witnessed fighting at the

fighting both sides lost 900 soldiers. 
Elizabeth Proctor Thomas, a free African
American woman, owned a portion of the land
this fort was built on. In 1862 her land and
home were seized by troops to expand the fort.
While President Abraham Lincoln ensured
Thomas she would be reimbursed for her land,
no records indicated she ever received a
financial payment. Despite the loss of her land,
Thomas remained in the area until her death in

Fort Ward Park is one of the 68 forts built
during the Civil War to encircle Washington,
DC and protect it from the Confederate
Army. After the Civil
War it was abandoned by the federal
government and became an African
American community with homes, a school,
church, and burial grounds. In the
1960s, the City of Alexandria purchased the
properties through condemnation and
demolished most of the buildings to create a
public park. Today the 42-acre public
park features the historic earthworks
and three reconstructed military
buildings.

ran the Fashion Barber Shop at 19 N. Center

to both African American and Anglo

One location was in the Switzer's building at

The Frederick Douglass National Historic
Site works to preserve the legacy of
abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Douglass
purchased the site in 1877 with his wife, Anna
Murray Douglass. While living at the home,
Douglass lectured widely and wrote his
autobiography, Life and Times of
Frederick Douglass. His life was a
testament to courage and persistence in the
wake of struggle, inspiring those who
champion liberty and justice. While the site
initally became preserved through the efforts
of Anacostia residents and the National
Association of Colored Women in the 1920s,
the National Park Service has since taken over 1411 W St

George Taylor ran for president under the
National Liberty Party (NLP) in 1904. The
NLP developed itself as the nation's first
political party created by and for
African Americans. While Taylor
recieved only a minimal number of

demonstrates the political activism of African
