This fine project is part of the Knox County Ohio Black History Digital Archives, and it was made possible in part by funding from the Ohio Humanities Council and Kenyon College. The intent of the project is to inform the public about the experiences of African Americans in this portion of rural Ohio. Drawing on materials donated by local individuals, businesses, and institutions, the collaborators at the project have created an engaging portrait of African American life in the area. Visitors can click on any of the images here to get started, or they may also wish to click on one of the six topical headings on the top of the page. "Social Life" is a good place to start as visitors can learn about some of the early organizations that served the African American community. The timeline here also gives a bit of an overview of African American life in Knox County, and it's a helpful introduction to the history of the community.
