  • Hatfield HARTF Document
    Chapter 1: John Hatfield, the Good Deacon John Hatfield was known as a Deacon of Cincinnati’s Zion Baptist church and a member of the Cincinnati Vigilance Committee in the years before the Civil War. He and his family had the reputation of helping freedom seekers on their way North. Even though he was named as a black abolitionist in many historical references written by Levi Coffin,1 Laura Havilland,2 and Professor Wilbur H. Siebert,3 until now, his life story and the fate of his family has never been explored in print. Through digital research and a series of remarkable coincidences, the Hatfield family’s story can be brought up to date. From Pennsylvania to Ohio Hatfield was born a free mulatto in Metal, Franklin Co., PA ca. 1804 to Joseph4 and Catherine Moore Hatfield, also free. Joseph was a farmer. His son Charles Amos would give his father’s birth location in the census as England and this is what appears on Charles’s death certificate. John, however, consistently gave his father’s place of birth as Pennsylvania. In 1780 Pennsylvania passed “An Act for the gradual abolition of slavery.” As a result, the state was a border between the free states of the north and the slave holding southern states (Mason-Dixon Line). Freedom seekers from Maryland and Virginia passed through Franklin County on their path to New York or New Jersey and thence to Canada. This county is heavily wooded with mountains and caves, affording many places to hide. Joseph and Catherine (Moore)5 Hatfield were the parents of John, Samuel, Charles Amos and perhaps other Hatfields as well.

  • Black Women's Music Database
    By Stephanie Y. Evans & Stephanie Shonekan Black Women’s Music Database chronicles over 600 Africana singers, songwriters, composers, and musicians from around the world. The database was created by Dr. Stephanie Evans, a professor of Black women’s studies (intellectual history) and developed in collaboration with Dr. Stephanie Shonekon, a professor of Black studies and music (ethnomusicology). Together, with support from top music scholars, the Stephanies established this project to encourage interdisciplinary research, expand creative production, facilitate community building and, most importantly, to recognize and support Black women’s creative genius. This database will be useful for music scholars and ethnomusicologists, music historians, and contemporary performers, as well as general audiences and music therapists. Music heals. The purpose of the Black Women’s Music Database research collective is to amplify voices of singers, musicians, and scholars by encouraging public appreciation, study, practice, performance, and publication, that centers Black women’s experiences, knowledge, and perspectives. This project maps leading Black women artists in multiple genres of music, including gospel, blues, classical, jazz, R & B, soul, opera, theater, rock-n-roll, disco, hip hop, salsa, Afro- beat, bossa nova, soka, and more. Study of African American music is now well established. Beginning with publications like The Music of Black Americans by Eileen Southern (1971) and African American Music by Mellonee Burnim and Portia Maultsby (2006),
