From the Introduction: "In February 2021, the Frankfort Board of Commissioners authorized an application for a Certified Local Government grant from the Kentucky Heritage Council to complete an African American Historic Context Report to serve as a preservation planning tool for the city. The city's intention was for a report focused in three areas: - Document: The report would address the deficit in documenting and recognizing contributions by the Black community to Frankfort's rich history and would identify the social, political, economic, educational, artistic and physical environment that influenced the growth of the Black community and how it changed over time. - Evaluate: Associated property types (buildings, structures, sites, districts and objects) would be identified and evaluated for eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. - Educate: The report would provide a foundation for education, recognition and promotion of Frankfort's African American heritage." Table of Contents: Introduction Historic Context Narrative Historic Resources Bibliography Historic Resources Survey Appendices Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Kentucky Heritage Council, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P21AF10399).
