Point of Reference – 1

I had the great pleasure and honor to participate in the Humanities Texas 40th Anniversary celebration in Austin, Texas this week. In the preceding months I had received a number of requests for a single linked index of products from my projects, including Black Settlements In America, across the United States. Whether a matter of providence or not, Dr. Jim Veninga (Director Emeritus of Humanities Texas) challenged me directly to do this during the Humanities Texas events. So, the following list of links represent the first set of which I am aware:

• Nicodemus, Graham County, Kansas – Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS)
• Idlewild, Cass County, Michigan – National Resource Team Report
• Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor Management Plan (Huntley Partners Team) – Buffalo, Erie County, New York

Another comprehensive update will be posted in 2014 as the next series of projects begin and becomes available. Thanks to Jim, et.al., for the final “                                                                                      push”!
