The
author wishes
to acknowledge the contributions made by others to the completion of YOUR
HISTORY. Oftentimes, when we embark on lengthy and time consuming
projects,
it is not anticipated how many people will ultimately become involved.
In this instance, it was anticipated that Mrs. Gladys E. Bozeman was
going to be a prime participant. What was not anticipated, however, was
the full extent of her involvement, for the amount of information she
had
to process was five times larger than originally estimated and took
three
years longer to bring to completion because of the several manuscript
emendations
she had to type. Nevertheless, her dedication to work and the purchase
of word processing equipment not only kept her going but also lightened
her ordeal. To Mr. and Mrs. Dean L. and Uretha “Tiny” Hall Seavers I
owe
a multitude of thanks, for it was their tedious and painstaking work
that
provided us with a comprehensive index, without which this revised and
enlarged edition could not serve as a handy reference work. Of the
other
persons involved, Prof. E. Timothy Moore must be singled out for his
expert
assistance with the photographic and graphic layout. To Mrs. Delayne
Shah,
Dr. Jackie Booker and Professor Paul E. Welcher, I owe especial thanks
for their willingness to proofread the manuscript and for their
suggestions
on content, format and style. Mr. Kofi Maridzambira Khemet (aka E.
Michael Crosby), Professor Francis E. Dorsey and the late
Mrs. Clara
Jackson, Librarian Emeritus at Kent State University were most helpful,
directly and indirectly, in the amassing of data to be considered for
possible
inclusion in this chronological record.
The author is indebted for permission to use excerpts — some of which are lengthy — and photos, maps, tables, and figures from those works preceded by an asterisk (*). The author has used the other listed works as references, selected from a much longer list. During the years it took to compile the entries included in YOUR HISTORY, I referred to a large number of printed materials too numerous to mention on these pages. These materials, to a considerable degree, were community newspapers, mimeographed fliers or newssheets, newspaper clipping files, correspondence, brochures, etc. Many of these sources were reliable, but without author, place and date. *Africa for the Africans at Home and Abroad, A Calendar.
