Black History

Also in the record

First families, the Black Laws, and the freedom case that isn't here
The mother-church test: the question put to a read-whole record
Community scholarship: no study of a community this size exists
Migration and the industrial ceiling: the wave that passed this town by
The Klan era on this ground: the test, dug once
Institutions: the register read whole contains neither — printed as this section's finding
Exclusion, measured where it can be measured: the pool that never existed
Redlining in writing: an instrument that never mapped this town
Counter-moves under the ordinance book and the housing record
The professions test: stated over the banked practitioner record
The closing row: unrest, firsts, press, displacement — and the accounting, dated
The documented case: the county's litigation is real, and none of it arises on this ground
The traffic at evidence strength: it ran through South Bend, toward Michigan — not through this township
Every station claim, tested one by one: for this ground, there is no claim of record to test
The law over their heads: the Black Laws, Article XIII, and the register that does not survive
The antebellum Black community: counted where the census counts, and named where any record names
