A collection of historic photographs of Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky.

BAL

"While this is a glimpse of Frankfort's African American community, it has much in common with other Black communities, especially those in the South. Although much in the collection that produced this work - both photographic and oral history - is nostalgic, it ultimately demonstrates that change is constant, producing both negative and positive results."--BOOK JACKET.

The celebrated writer reminisces about his boyhood in Michigan at the turn of the century.
