The M.I. King Library has already preserved some oral histories pertaining to Lexington's black churches during the civil rights movement: Harry Sykes: "Sykes recalls church involvement in the civil rights marches in Lexington and discusses his chairmanship of the Commission on Religion and Human Rights in the early 1960s." Robert Jefferson: "He details the role of the African American church in the community and during the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and discusses his rejection of the non-violent faction of the movement." Albert Lee: "Reverend Lee discusses the role of the church in the African American community and the effects of segregation in Lexington." etc. There are tons of relevant interviews to be explored, most conducted with reverends. I only see ONE interview conducted with a woman about churches and the civil rights movement, perhaps a hole we could fill?

Features photographs of black ministers participating in sit-in demonstrations in Lexington, provides names of the reverends.

this says she taught law classes at UK!

Oh, I like this little snippet, too: http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=s5UwAAAAIBAJ&sjid=gS4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=7163,3445468&dq=emma+guy+cromwell&hl=en "Mrs. Cromwell Visits in the City Today"--so proper! Additionally, it might be useful to know in the future that Google News archives newspapers going all the way back to the 1920's (or earlier)! That is pretty cool.
