Yes this is an amazing story. I'm black and I live in Missouri and have never heard of this it's so crazy that will not talk this in our history books. They don't talk about it in black history month seems our African American history is a little whitewashed leaving out details of important events.

Thanks to professor Anderson for a brief and informative description. I have begun reading the first of two books I purchased on Rev. Whitfield he worked with my grandfather in St Louis on a political campaign and rally to address the Howard Lynching. He is one of those men who devoted his life to addressing inequality but sadly is not as well known as others who did less.

My great grandfather was a tenant farmer in the Bootheel. Similar to a sharecropper, their home was owned by the farmer and their groceries were purchased at his store on credit which was ran by his wife. The farmer's family would pass down their store bought clothes to my cousins. This was as late as the 1970's.
