The Centennial Anniversary Celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation in Illinois
"As required by H.B. 1409 enacted in the 72nd General Assembly, the American Negro Emancipation Centennial Commission herewith transmits its report. This report is the story of the activities of interested and dedicated citizens of all races, who have worked zealously to carry forward programs and events which give meaning, depth and purpose to the celebration of Centennial Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. One Hundred Years After the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation is a time of challenge and assessment of the social and historic distance over which we have come in the fulfillment of the goals and ideals of the Emancipation Proclamation and the distance yet to go."-- from letter of transmittal.

Traces in the Dust
(From the Preface) Traces in the Dust focuses upon the African American families and residents of Carbondale since the founding of the Carbondale Township (1852). It is meant to provide a glimpse of the growth, progress, and development of the Black American community in the city through the exploration of recorded data and oral history.
Emancipation's Diaspora
Most studies of emancipation's consequences have focused on the South. Moving the discussion to the North, Leslie Schwalm enriches our understanding of the national impact of the transition from slavery to freedom. Emancipation's Diaspora follows the lives and experiences of thousands of men and women who liberated themselves from slavery, made their way to overwhelmingly white communities in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and worked to live in dignity as free women and men and as citizens. Schwalm explores the hotly contested politics of black enfranchisement as well as collisions over segregation, civil rights, and the more informal politics of race--including how slavery and emancipation would be remembered and commemorated. She examines how gender shaped the politics of race, and how gender relations were contested and negotiated within the black community. Based on extensive archival research, Emancipation's Diaspora shows how in churches and schools, in voting booths and Masonic temples, in bustling cities and rural crossroads, black and white Midwesterners--women and men--shaped the local and national consequences of emancipation.
