Drawing on more than 450 historic images, Mervin Aubespin, Kenneth Clay, and J. Blaine Hudson trace the African American community in Louisville from the city’s 1778 settlement through slavery, segregation, and the long fight for civil rights.
The three Louisville-connected authors — a former Courier-Journal editor, a Kentucky Center for the Arts executive, and a University of Louisville dean — assembled a full-color, 304-page record of a community whose achievements shaped the city while too often going unrecognized.
