Black History

Also in the record

Black history: first families, the freedom-case test, and the mother-church test
The community's scholarship, its institutions, and the Klan-era test
Exclusion measured, redlining in writing, the counter-moves, and the professions
The closing row: unrest, firsts, press, and displacement — and this section's one number, labelled
The Powell seizure and the two discharges: the documented case whole
The price of the rescue: $2,850 in damages, and a $500 penalty that died in the Supreme Court
The traffic at evidence strength: who is documented through this county, and what ran elsewhere
Every station claim for this ground, tested one by one
The law over their heads, whole: 1793, 1850, the Black Laws, Article XIII — and the county's missing register
The antebellum Black community, counted and named as far as the record reaches
