BLACK HISTORY FILES

There are two reasons for this web page:
1. Someone asked me for some "historical African-American" sites and I could not find any.
2. It took me over two months to find this much at the library. I will continue to add stuff as I find it.

If you would like to contribute please email me, [email protected] (Kristina)

If you find links don't work please email to let me know. Thanks!

I'm going through the newspaper and so far Norfolk is the only county to list the marriages separately.
