Tested November 2026
Each institution the checklist requires was tested on this ground, and the answers are uniform. Mother church: no Black congregation seated in North Liberty in any era was found — negative. NAACP chapter: none seated here was found; the county's chapter life is South Bend's — negative, at boundary strength. The Klan era on this ground: no dated threat, guarded church or Klan action sited in North Liberty was found in the record reached — the test and its settler (the 1920s town press read whole) stand in the secret-societies leg. Exclusion in public accommodations, the pool and housing fights, redlining documents, defence housing, the secret-purchase street, Black professionals practising inside segregation, the Black press: each was tested, and each returns the same structural answer — these fights happened where a Black community existed to fight them, and in this county that ground was South Bend. The Green Book test was run for the travelling years: no North Liberty listing was found in the record reached, its settler the digitised Green Book editions at the New York Public Library, searched town by town — a named gap for the complete run. Schools: North Liberty's children were schooled in township schools and later at John Glenn; no segregation case, decree or desegregation fight sited here was found — negative.
