    "Selective finding aid to Lexington newspapers about significant people, places and events from 1787 to December 31, 2007. The selective citations included in the Lexington Public Library's Local History index appeared in various Lexington newspapers beginning with the Kentucky Gazette in 1787 through the Lexington Herald-Leader of December 31, 2007. The nucleus of the database index is a card file in the Kentucky Room developed by staff over a number of years." My mother helped with the creation of this index when she was a UK journalism student in the 1940s!

    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.

    I found it intresting that Cromwell said she would not have pursued politics as a careear choice unless her husband and son would have died. She was clearly invested in her local community, but still valued the idea of being a mother and a wife. The responsibilities that come with that would of outweighted her committment to public office in the political world.

For the last eight years, he has been a mortician. Most would consider this business grim and unpleasant. But Hughes, co-owner of O.L.

  • The city’s two daily newspapers, the Herald and the Leader, worked hand in hand with respected pillars of the community and decided to ignore the revolution. The press took their orders from the powerful and didn’t report one of the biggest news stories in American history. Lexington had demonstrations, sit-ins and other protests, but the papers didn’t acknowledge their complicity in telling a lie until earlier this month.
  • The white citizenry of Lexington decided that pretense was preferable to the truth and chose not to point out the elephant in the living room. “Good” white people like Fred Wachs, general manager and publisher of both newspapers, said they wanted change, but didn’t think that anyone demanding it was worthy of an expenditure of newsprint.
  • The godfathers of Lexington told people where they could and could not live, and could and could not work, and could and could not go to school and yet were not labeled rabble rousers. That honor fell on those who risked death, injury and loss of livelihood to demand a just society.

  • Of course there was another very simple reason to deny the existence of the movement in Lexington and other cities. The lack of coverage discouraged activism. Many more people would have been galvanized by the courage of Audrey Ross Grevious and thousands of others.

    Powers turned her attention to her family genealogy, trying to find out more about her great-aunt Celia Mudd, who was born into slavery but eventually inherited the rural Kentucky farm in Nelson County on which she spent all her life. Powers found a 1902 will in which Sam Lancaster, whose father had bought the farm, left all 500 acres to Georgia's Aunt Celia. Lancaster's surviving brother sued and the case went to Kentucky's highest court, yet most newspapers declined to report about it. After winning the case Celia Mudd become a local philanthropist. Powers wrote up this family history as a novel.

      I think it's interesting to see the historical connections with the other urban areas: Danville, Atlanta, Frankfort. I'm wondering if you can find newspaper advertisements in the papers from those cities that will help provide some cultural contexts and clues about community values?
