Joe and Alice Skinner, seen here in a photo taken shortly after their wedding in 1913, lived in Quakertown, an African-American neighborhood in Denton that flourished for decades until it was razed to build a city park in the 1920s.

Denton County museum officials are hoping for contributions from residents to help with their latest book, Images of America: African Americans in Denton County. The book, to be published by Arcadia Publishing, is about two years from completion, but Georgia Caraway, executive director of Denton County Museums, said public input will be a vital part of getting the book completed.
