By focusing on a few individuals at different periodsin the two hundred year history of Luzerne County, shesuggests the importance of Black Americans to this regionas workers, soldiers, craftsmen, and civic and religiousleaders. Several of the individuals are her own relativesso that in some sense this is her story. But it is also thestory of all the people who have helped build this WyomingValley community, It begs for a fuller, scholarly investigationinto the roles played by the thousands of Black Americanswho, along side the Connecticut settlers, the Europeanimmigrants, and Indians, helped shape the community weknow today in Luzerne County".
