Notable Kentucky African Americans Database Exists To Tell A More Complete State History

UK Libraries

All month long WUKY's Alan Lytle will be visiting with Reinette Jones who along with colleague Rob Aken, oversee the UK Libraries’ Notable Kentucky African Americans Database – a free online resource for anyone who wants to know more about the history of our commonwealth.  The database is full of little known stories of achievement, injustice, and agency of African Americans, past and present.  We’ll be highlighting specific entries and categories in the weeks to come but today a general discussion of how the project came to be.
