Acknowledgments

I AM FOREVER INDEBTED TO THE FACULTY, COLLEAGUES, FRIENDS, AND family without whom this book could not have been finished, especially Kenneth Kusmer, Bettye Collier-Thomas, Wilbert Jenkins, and Randall Miller. I am deeply thankful for their patience, encouragement, and criticism. A special thanks to Gail Jacky of the NIU Writing Center, who proofread the manuscript.

As a former archivist, I realize how important these professionals are to the research process. I would like to thank the staff at the Peace Collection at Swarthmore College and the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress. I am especially thankful to the present and former staff of the Urban Archives at Temple University: Brenda Galloway-Wright, George Brightbill, and Margaret Jerrido.

This book would not have come to fruition without the enthusiasm, participation, and vision of the many people associated with the interracial civil rights movement. I am forever indebted to Sue Angrie, Roosevelt and Virginia Barlow, Mitzi Jacoby Barnes, Cushing Dolbeare, Mohammed Latif, Louis Massiah, Gladys Rawlins, Susan Rosenbloom, Val Udell, Randolph Walker, and Aura Yores. I owe a tremendous debt to the late Helen Stark Tomkins, former director of Fellowship Farm. Helen Tomkins introduced me to many of these pioneering activists, provided me with a tour of the Farm, and offered unqualified encouragement and insight.

Northern Illinois University has been my academic home since 2002. At Northern I have been extremely fortunate to work with a distinguished and supportive cadre of historians. Special thanks to E. Taylor Atkins, Sundiata Djata, Aaron Fogleman, and Beatrix Hoffman for their insightful comments and unflagging support. A paid research leave from NIU contributed to the completion of this project.

I have been extremely fortunate to work with the University Press of Mississippi. Acquisitions editor Walter Biggins has shepherded this project from the beginning. I owe him my deepest thanks for his wisdom, guidance, and patience.

I am grateful for the support of so many friends over the years. I thank Najia Aarim-Heriot, Simon Davis, Ann Dougherty, Robert Doan, John and Mary Jureller, Andrew Moore, Andrew Newkirk, Philip Nwankwo, Eric Schlaf, Frank Sundram, Joseph and Jennifer Trachtman, and Diane Turner.

Finally, my extended family has provided both emotional and spiritual support. I would like to thank the many members of the Arnold/Drew, Bagby, and McGowan families for their unwavering encouragement. My mother, the late Dorothy Milverne Bagby Arnold, instilled in me a love for history and a passion for racial justice. Her spirit continues to influence me.

My sons Luke and Dylan McGowan-Arnold have enriched my life and inspired this work. Although I have often been preoccupied by my research, they understood the need for me to work on this project, cheerfully commenting Hows that book comin along? My wife, Beth Ann McGowan, has lived with this project for many years. Words cannot describe my heartfelt gratitude for her love, patience, criticism, editing, and incredible sacrifice. Any credit or praise I receive for this endeavor is shared by Beth. Without her, this project would have never been completed.
