The more recent past...
What's ahead...
During 2003, I left my job as a public school teacher to begin the process of organizing and
developing material I had been accumulating for nearly a decade on African American coal
miners. To date, I have created a website, The African American Coal Miner Information
Center, and completed five issues of The African American Coal Mining Heritage, a
companion newsletter.

Since late 2004, I have expanded my research interests into other areas of African American
history and genealogy covering roughly the period from the Civil War to 1930. I have been
presenting lectures on a pretty regular basis in the past 12 months, and completed my first
research grant at the end of 2005. The grant revolved around unearthing the history of the
African American coal mining community of Thurber, Texas. This spring, 2008, I had my
first published book titled Finding and Using African American Newspapers.

As my "projects" have expanded, and with it the number of folks interested in their
progress, the need for a site to accommodate the non-coal mining material and my
developing business needs became more apparent. In the coming months you can expect to
find a wide array of information here including how to obtain my services as a researcher,
the status of current projects and the creation of new ones, tips, resources, and research
strategies for those pursuing their black heritage, and more. For additional details, click here.
