We were told in class early in the semester about the fire insurance maps ... here is a quick link one of Lexington. Or you could check the special collections at the UK library, I believe.
Found UKs library database, this list is of famous African Americans men and women who made an impact on society by inventing different products.
Two women on the list are:
Bradberry, Henrietta Mahim & Moore, Mary A.
Found in UK's library website, this page consists of numerous men and women who strived to be equal.
Neat to read about Brenda Cowan- the first African American fire fighter in Lexington, KY.
Very neat time line which includes many KY women from the years 1500s to 1999. Really neat to see that in 1970, it was the first time for a female jockey to partake in the Derby!
