        uthor and historian NiNi Harris
combed through 18th century legal
records that document the fates of 
 African-Americans during the colonial 
era. She studied slave schedules and 
early city directories to trace the lives of Black St. Louisans living in bondage and Black St. Louisans living as Freemen. By searching old newspapers, St. Louis Public School records, and census records, Harris was able to recount the successes and growth of Black St. Louisans as they faced great challenges during the late 19th and 20th centuries.
