Inhalt:

Most of the material you will hear at this time is not and was not taught in school. Only in the last twenty years has much of this information has come to light by hard working researchers who, like myself, have spent thousands of hours digging out the facts from diverse sources. The usual class room teachings acknowledge slavery only in a general way moving on to the Civil War, dwelling only a moment on the Reconstruction's initial success and then its failure. We then skip to World War Two forgetting eighty years worth of struggle during the great migrations north for work and finding more disappointment trying to improve their lives. The story of Elgin's African American Community begins in West Africa, then to the New World in the seventeenth century, then to the fledgling United States of 1700's, to the Northwest Territory of 1793, to Illinois, to Kane County, and at last to Elgin.
