  • LOOKING BACK in HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville Area As Recorded in the Pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN
    WAY BACK WHEN: LOOKING BACK IN HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville area as recorded in the pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN. By Bob McMillian 1950’s (Compiled by Audrey J. Lambert) http://www.ajlambert.com 1950 (January 5, 1950) “Music lovers of this Upper Cumberland area” have got something exciting to look forward to next week when a young piano team — Vera Apple and Michael Field — plays at Tennessee Tech. They are “two wizards of the keyboards who play and think as one,” according to a recent review in the New York World Telegram. They studied together at Julliard, went their own ways, and then met by chance and formed a piano duo. Their concert is the subject of a major page•one story this week here. In other entertainment news, the Central High School Cavaliers will meet Crossville in a basketball game set to be played in the school’s new gymnasium (now Cookeville Junior High). The new gym was part of a $217,000 renovation and expansion of the school. It is larger than the old one and boasts fold•up bleachers. (January 12, 1950) An advertisement for Citizens Bank reads: “There’s a tribe in South Africa that requires a prospective bridegroom to milk a lioness as proof of his bravery. You needn’t be brave to open an account with us. Our friendly staff makes even widows and orphans feel at ease.” (January 19, 1950) Cookeville’s Postmaster F. P. Moore says he’s seen a lot of changes in postal service here since he became postmaster in 1939.

  • 4 the Journal of The
    4 THE JOURNAL OF THE A HISTORY OF AFRO-AM ERIC ANS IN NEW JERSEY BY LA. GREENE Professor Greene is Chairman of the History Department at Seton Hall University Preface Far too many residents of New Jersey believe the present conditions of race relations and the status of Afro-Americans characterize not only the contemporary era but also the past. Today, a number of New Jersey municipalities have black mayors and representatives in the state legisla- ture, but less well known is the disenfranchisement of blacks in the pre- Civil War era. Today, despite a significant gap between black and white incomes, blacks are employed as unskilled laborers, in skilled jobs, and as professionals. Yet in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most New Jersey Afro-Americans were in the bondage of slavery. July 4, 1776, stimulates memories of Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and other heroes of the American Revolution, but few have heard of Prince Whipple or Jack Cudjo, black Jerseyans who served the patriot military cause during the Revolution. Nor has July 4,1804, the date New Jersey's gradual abolition of slavery law took effect, been imprinted in the collective memory of the state's citizens. If our knowledge of the history of Afro-Americans in New Jersey contains such omissions, it is my hope that this work will generate new knowledge and interest in this too-often ignored or only faintly understood topic. This study covers in six sections the Afro-American experience in the state from the colonial period to the present. The first section will focus on the origins and growth of African slavery.
