Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Massies Creek and Cherry Grove cemeteries represent over two centuries of heritage and pride in a community that flourished from the early nineteenth century to the present. Massies Creek and Cherry Grove cemeteries are essential to understanding the history of Greene County's African American community. Massies Creek and Cherry Grove cemeteries are the final resting place of numerous bishops, church leaders, university presidents, educators, successful businessmen, politicians, and other figures that have made an impact locally, regionally, and nationally. Massies Creek and Cherry Grove Cemeteries: A Reflection of Greene County's African American Community and Their Contributions to the World uncovers the vital importance of Massie's Creek and Cherry Grove Cemeteries as reflections of the community that they served by reviewing the history of the county, especially its African American community. The thesis also unveils facts about the prominent African Americans buried in the two cemeteries and how they were pivotal to Americans, particularly African Americans, in Ohio and throughout the nation. The thesis explicates what makes these cemeteries, and the communities around them, an anomaly. In addition, Massies Creek and Cherry Grove Cemeteries: A Reflection of Greene County's African American Community and Their Contributions to the World examines how and why these phenomenal leaders made these two cemeteries their final resting places.
Download or read book Historic Black Settlements of Ohio written by David Meyers and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years leading up to the Civil War, Ohio had more African American settlements than any other state. Owing to a common border with several slave states, it became a destination for people of color seeking to separate themselves from slavery. Despite these communities having populations that sometimes numbered in the hundreds, little is known about most of them, and by the beginning of the twentieth century, nearly all had lost their ethnic identities as the original settlers died off and their descendants moved away. Save for scattered cemeteries and an occasional house or church, they have all but been erased from Ohio's landscape. Father-daughter coauthors David Meyers and Elise Meyers Walker piece together the stories of more than forty of these black settlements.
