This selection of manuscript and printed text and images drawn from the
collections of the Ohio Historical Society illuminates the history of
black Ohio from 1850 to 1920, a story of slavery and freedom,
segregation and integration, religion and politics, migrations and
restrictions, harmony and discord, and struggles and successes.
The mission of the Library of Congress is to make its
resources available and useful to Congress and the American people and to
sustain and preserve a universal collection of knowledge and creativity
for future generations. The goal of the Library's National Digital
Library Program is to offer broad public access to a wide range of
historical and cultural documents as a contribution to education and
lifelong learning. Digital collections from other institutions complement
and enhance the Library's own resources.
The Library of Congress presents these documents as part of the record
of the past. These primary historical documents reflect the attitudes,
perspectives, and beliefs of different times. The Library of Congress
and the Ohio Historical Society do not endorse the views expressed in these
collections, which may contain materials offensive to some readers.
