ACRES
OF ASPIRATION by Hannibal B. Johnson
Foreword : Michael Dyson, Ph.D.
Beulah Land.
Paradise. Shangri-la. Oklahoma seemed to be all of these in the hostile,
racist, post–Civil War South. Seeking both refuge and respect, pioneers
such as Edward P. McCabe championed the idea of Oklahoma as an all-Black
state. And all-Black towns proliferated there. Some sixty all-Black towns,
along with Tulsa's Greenwood District, bear witness to the deep creativity
and incredible human spirit of the people who built them.

Blind Lemon
Jefferson His Life, His Death, and His Legacy
by Robert Uzzel
Between 1926 and his untimely death in 1929, Blind Lemon Jefferson was the largest-selling black blues singer in the United States.
Blind from birth, Lemon wandered the streets of Wortham, Groesbeck, Marlin, and Kosse in Central Texas, playing his guitar and soliciting contributions with his tin cup. In 1912 he caught a train for Dallas, where he performed in the famous Deep Ellum district. He was discovered by a talent scout for Paramount Records and taken to Chicago in 1925.
Between 1926 and 1929, Lemon recorded more than a hundred titles and traveled extensively. His musical influence was widespread, affecting white and black musicians alike and extending to musical forms other than the blues.
Robert L. Uzzel, born in Waco, Texas, holds a doctor of philosophy degree from Baylor University. He has been a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church since 1975 and currently serves as pastor of Forest Hill AME Church in Fort Worth.
