Standing Tall
This book brings into focus the lives of African-American women who lived in Washtenaw County, Michigan in the years after World War I and before the Civil Rights era. These are the voices of women who raised families, fought for homes, and worked through their churches and their clubs to improve economic, housing, educational and social conditions in their communities. When this project began, interviewers from The Ann Arbor Chapter of The Links Inc. asked these women, What was it like living in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti between the 1940s and 60s? This book is a collection of their answers and experiences in their own words.
Children's Choices
“There’s nothing to do,” Robbie Rabbit said to no one in particular. His long white ears drooped. His bushy tale sagged. He poked around the rose bushes. He sniffed at the marigolds. He scrambled over the white picket fence next to his house. Just then he noticed Mrs. Rabbit in her kitchen next door. Maybe I could go play a trick on Mrs. Rabbit, thought Robbie with a mischievous tilt of his head. That would be something to do today.
Another Ann Arbor
The black community in the Ann Arbor area includes Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Second Baptist Church, Brown Chapel, the Ann Arbor Community Center, the old Jones School, and other well-remembered places. The photographs representing this history follow the progress of the African American community from 1857, when the Rev. J. M. Gregory gathered together a small congregation at 504 High Street, to 1996, when Dr. Homer Neal assumed leadership of the University of Michigan as its interim president. This integral but little-known part of Ann Arbor area history is preserved in Another Ann Arbor.
