Hello,
Regarding the question on Jim Crow era legislative acts - I recommend Pauli Murray's States' Laws on Race and Color - published in 1951.
https://ugapress.org/book/9780820350639/states-laws-on-race-and-color/
The information is organized by state.

We are building on this work with a collections as data project called On the Books: Jim Crow and Algorithms of Resistance. We are creating a plain corpus of NC Laws, and will do text analysis to find Jim Crow laws. If you are interested, here's the press release: https://library.unc.edu/2018/12/on-the-books-grant/
And the project website:
https://unc-libraries-data.github.io/OnTheBooks/
(with more information forthcoming).

Best wishes,
Amanda Henley

Subject: Columbus Ohio 250k slope map

We have discovered a 1:250,000 toposheet for Columbus, Ohio, published 1972, that is listed as "experimental printing" and shows 4 classes of slope zones (<5%, 5-10%, 15-30%, >30%) in yellow and brown shades.

Can anyone tell me if this was a one-off or are there other 1:250,000 topo sheets of the coterminous US that also show slope rather than topography?

We're not sure whether to catalogue this map as a single, a series, or just include a note about it in our US 250k topo series record.

Thanks

Hello all,


I've got a researcher interested in locating resources that map out Jim Crow era legislative acts geographically. Does anyone have any ideas? So far, I've come up with is the following citation:

Jr, Alton Hornsby (23 August 2011). "Black America: A State-by-State Historical Encyclopedia [2 volumes]: A State-by-State Historical Encyclopedia"<https://books.google.com/books?id=fB3rQefP8wQC&pg=PA915&dq=Williams+v+Board+of+Education+of+Tucker+County&hl=en&sa=X&ei=DkI4VMG3HpDksATwwoK4AQ&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Williams+v+Board+of+Education+of+Tucker+County&f=false>. ABC-CLIO.
