Jim Crow Wisdom: Memory and Identity in Black America since 1940

Index

269 INDEX Note: As this work blends first- and third-person voices and family history and public history, I had to make a decision about how to cite family members and myself in the index. My family members (Holloway, Trent, and Matthews) are cited as they appear in the text. I have only cited myself in those very few instances where I refer to “Jonathan Holloway” in the third person.
