March 21, 629: Heraclius was head of the Eastern Roman Empire. Byzantine Emperor Heraclius marched into Jerusalem at the head of his army with the support of Jewish inhabitants. The Jews who had previously fought with the Persians against Byzantine rule decided to support him in return for a promise of amnesty. Upon his entry into Jerusalem the local priests convinced him that killing Jews was a positive commandment and that his promise was therefore invalid. Hundreds of Jews were massacred and thousands of others fled to Egypt. Thus, much of the rich Jewish life in the Galilee and Judea came to an end.[1] During the fifth and sixth centuries the Christian rulers tried to make life for Jews in Palestine as difficult as possible. Heraclius was defeated by the Persians and the Jews sided with the Persians who were viewed as liberators. The joy was short lived as the Christians re-took the land from the Persians and punished the Jews severely. Ultimately all of this matter very little since the Arabs would soon appear in Palestine and Islam would become the dominate force.[2]

Archaeaoastronomy of the Ocmulgee Earth Lodge
The Pawnee were a Midwestern Caddoan tribe that also constructed earth lodges similar to the one at Ocmulgee Mounds. Some of these earth lodges were used as astronomical observatories.[8]The Pawnee earth lodge observatories had entranceways facing east just like Ocmulgee’s earth lodge. They also had an altar on the western end of the interior chamber just like Ocmulgee’s earth lodge except the Pawnee altars were not bird-shaped. (Although lots of bird remains including a bluejay, owls, woodpeckers, eagles, quails and others were found in some Pawnee earth lodge observatories suggesting birds were an important part of the activities that took place inside.)

Model of Pawnee earth lodge
Layout of Pawnee earth lodge
Researchers have listed five characteristics of Pawnee earth lodges that indicated they had been used as a priestly observatory:
1.unobstructed view of the eastern sky
2.east-west orientation so that at the vernal equinox the sun’s first light would strike the altar
3.the size parameters of the lodge’s smoke hole and door (height and width) would be designed to view the sky
4.the lodge’s smoke hole would be constructed to view certain parts of the heavens-such as the Pleiades
5.the presence of four main interior support posts correctly aligned to the semicardinal points.
How well does the Ocmulgee earth lodge match up with these five conditions? The Ocmulgee earth lodge was constructed on top of a bluff or plateau thus it would have had an unobstructed view of the eastern sky. It also had four main interior support posts aligned to the semicardinal directions. The structure also had an east-west orientation yet, according to researchers, its doorway aligned to the sunrise on February 22nd and October 22nd instead of the vernal equinox (March 21.) (Using software called The Photographer’s Ephemeris I was able to confirm this alignment.) [3]
May 21, 1152: Perhaps the marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine (24th great grandmother) might have continued if the royal couple had produced a male heir, but this had not occurred.[3] The Council of Beaugency declared that Louis VII (husband of the 24th great grandmother) and Eleanor were too closely related for their marriage to be legal.[3] Thus the marriage was annulled on March 21, 1152. The pretext of kinship was the basis for annulment; in fact, it owed more to the state of hostility between the two, and to the decreasing odds that their marriage would produce a male heir to the throne of France.[4]

Statue of Pocahontas (4th great grandmother of the wife of the brother in law of the 6th cousin 7x removed) in Saint George's church, Gravesend, Kent, England
John Rolfe (4th great grandfather of the wife of the brother in law of the 6th cousin 7x removed) and Pocahontas boarded a ship to return to Virginia; the ship had only gone as far as Gravesend on the River Thames when Pocahontas became gravely ill.[55] She was taken ashore and died in John Rolfe's arms at the age of twenty-two. It was not known what caused her death, but theories range from smallpox, pneumonia, or tuberculosis, to her having been poisoned.[56] According to RolfeM she died saying, "all must die, but tis enough that her child liveth".[57] Her funeral took place on March 21, 1617 in the parish of Saint George's, Gravesend.[58] The site of her grave is thought to be underneath the church's chancel, though since that church was destroyed in a fire in 1727 her exact gravesite is unknown.[59] Her memory is honored with a life-size bronze statue at St. George's Church by William Ordway Partridge.[60]
Descendants
Pocahontas and Rolfe had one child, Thomas Rolfe, who was born in 1615 before his parents left for England. Through this son, Pocahontas has many living descendants. Descendants of many First Families of Virginia trace their roots to Pocahontas and Chief Powhatan, including such notable individuals as Edith Bolling Galt Wilson, wife of Woodrow Wilson; George Wythe Randolph; Admiral Richard Byrd; Virginia Governor Harry Flood Byrd; fashion-designer and socialite Pauline de Rothschild; former First Lady Nancy Reagan; actor Glenn Strange; and astronomer and mathematician Percival Lowell.
Her "blood" was introduced to the Randolph family of Virginia via the marriage of her great-great-granddaughter, Jane Bolling, to Richard Randolph.[61]
Numerous places and landmarks were named after Pocahontas:
•Pocahontas was the namesake for one of the richest seams of bituminous coal found in Virginia and West Virginia, and the Pocahontas Land Company, a subsidiary of the Norfolk and Western Railway.
•From 1930 into the 1960s, one of the Norfolk and Western Railway's named luxury trains was the "Pocahontas".

Irvine to Major Scott:
“Sir:— Four companies of militia are called out for the purpose of defending the frontier of Washington county. You are to take command of two companies, who are to be kept constantly in motion from Montour’s Bottom to Decker’s or Mingo Bottom [a station on the east side of the Ohio]. As the whole of this frontier is entrusted to your charge, I have no doubt you make such arrangements and dispose of these two companies so as best to answer the purpose.
‘It will therefore be incumbent on you to visit the companies frequently and see that the men are alert and attentive to duty; but above all, you will dispose of them in such a manner as that very short intervals will take place between the different parties marching and counter-marching. You will direct the officers commanding companies or parties, should they discover signs of an enemy, to alarm not only tho other companies and parties, but they are to inform the neighboring settlements, and to be extremely cautious at the same time to guard against false alarms or reports. Yon will also direct them to send me notice of any material occurrence by express (one of their men), the lower company to that next this way, the officer commanding there to send one of his men — the first to return to his company.
“You will make weekly returns to me of the number of men and officers had attacked some friendly Indians on the island in the Ohio (Killbuck’s Island), under the protection of the garrison, and had killed several, and amongst them some that had been of essential service to the whites, in expeditions against Indian towns, and on scouting parties in case of attacks upon the settlements. One to whom the whites had given the name of Wilson (Captain Wilson) was much regretted by the garrison.’.[23]

Joseph Vance (2nd cousin 7x removed)
From Ohio History Central
Vance, Joseph (LC).jpg
Joseph Vance, half-length portrait, slightly to the left]
Joseph Vance was Ohio's thirteenth governor.
Vance was born in Catfish, Pennsylvania (modern-day Washington, Pennsylvania), on March 21, 1786. His father, Joseph C. Vance, was a Revolutionary War veteran originally from Virginia. The family moved from Pennsylvania to Kentucky in 1788 and then into Ohio in 1801. In 1805, Vance moved to the new community of Urbana, Ohio.
Because Vance had grown up in relatively unsettled parts of the country, he had few opportunities to attend school as a child. His lack of formal education was something that bothered him throughout his life. In spite of not having attended school, however, Vance became very successful. His willingness to work hard, even at a young age, contributed to his success.
As a young man, Vance was a salt peddler. He traveled throughout remote parts of Ohio selling salt to the local settlers. In 1807, Vance married Mary Lemon, whose family also lived in Urbana. When Vance's father died in 1809, Vance took over the family farm. Aside from his time serving in various political offices, Vance worked as a farmer for the rest of his life.
Vance first entered politics as the secretary of the board of county commissioners. He also formed his own rifle company, which became part of the Ohio militia during the War of 1812. Vance earned much respect for his contributions during the war and rose from the rank of captain eventually all the way to the rank of brigadier general by the war's end. In addition, Champaign County voters first elected him as a state representative in 1812. Vance served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1812 to 1814, 1815 to 1816, and again from 1819 to 1820. Vance was first elected as a member of the United States House of Representatives in 1821, a position that he held until 1835. As a congressman, Vance voted in favor of legislation that provided funding for Western improvements. He also became known for his support of abolitionism.
Vance was elected as Ohio's governor in 1836, becoming the first Whig Party candidate elected in the state. During his term as governor, Vance supported state funding for public schools and canal construction. He also worked to abolish capital punishment in Ohio. He had an excellent reputation as governor until he supported the extradition of someone accused of helping escaped slaves to stand trial in Kentucky. Although Vance had previously been known for his anti-slavery views, the extradition seriously affected his campaign for reelection in 1838. Ultimately, Wilson Shannon was elected as governor instead.
Vance's retirement from politics did not last long. The citizens from the tenth district elected him to the Ohio senate from 1839 to 1841, before electing him to the U.S. House of Representatives once again from 1843 to 1847. He was a prominent and well-respected figure in Congress. Vance was known for his views against the annexation of Texas and the Mexican War.
Although Vance no longer held public office after 1847, this did not mean that he was no longer involved in politics. On the contrary, he remained active within the Whig Party, traveling as a delegate to the national convention in 1848. He also was elected to the Ohio Constitutional Convention of 1850. The convention proved to be Vance's last public service. Returning home from the convention, Vance suffered a stroke. The last months of his life were spent at his home near Urbana, where he died on August 24, 1852.[25]
March 21, 1793: Zachariah Connell[26]. Brother in law of the half 5th grandaunt) (1741-1813). Born near Winchester, VA to James and Ann Williams Connell. When he came to what is now the Fayette County area around 1770, the area was claimed by both VA and PA. He worked as a surveyor and land agent for VA, MD, and PA. He was a captain in the militia during the Revolutionary War and served in William Perry’s frontier ranger unit 1778-1783. After the war, he returned to surveying and laid-out 180 quarter-acre lots for which he obtained a charter leading to the founding of Connellsville on March 21, 1793.

As an indication of his widely known benevolence, Connell made available for public use his stone quarry, wood lots, coal bank, and other assets. The town has come a long way from when Connell first surveyed the area and referred to it as “Mud Island.”[27]
March 21, 1793
In 1793 the town of Connellsville was laid out and chartered by Mr. Connell, who perceived that though there were but very few inhabitants in the place, it was destined to become a point of importance, because it was here that emigrants and travelers to the West (of whom there were already great numbers in transit, coming over the road from Bedford by way of Turkey Foot)[28] reached a boatable point on the Youghiogheny River. Here, for several years, boats had been built by emigrants and others to take their merchandise and other movables down by water carriage, and here he thought was a place where a thriving village would naturally spring up. Succeeding years bore witness to the soundness of his calculations, though for more than a decade after the laying out of the town its growth was slow.
The charter, executed by Mr. Connell, March 21, 1793, and recorded with the town plot in Book C, page 329, of the Fayette County records, is as follows:
Zachariah Connell, proprietor of the tract of land situate on the East side of Youghiogheni River, where the State Road from the north fork of Turkey foot intersects said river, To all to whom these presents shall come sendeth Greeting, Whereas it is necessary that some provision be made at the place aforesaid for the reception and entertainment of Travelers, and as well to accommodate such Tradesmen and others inclinig to settle at or near said place, for their encouragement and better regulation, Has laid out a small Town at the aforesaid place by the name of Connellsville, agreeably to the plan hereunto annexed.

March 21, 1804: After four years of debate and planning, French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte enacts a new legal framework for France, known as the "Napoleonic Code." The civil code gave post-revolutionary France its first coherent set of laws concerning property, colonial affairs, the family, and individual rights.
In 1800, General Napoleon Bonaparte, as the new dictator of France, began the arduous task of revising France's outdated and muddled legal system. He established a special commission, led by J.J. Cambaceres, which met more than 80 times to discuss the revolutionary legal revisions, and Napoleon presided over nearly half of these sessions. In March 1804, the Napoleonic Code was finally approved.
It codified several branches of law, including commercial and criminal law, and divided civil law into categories of property and family. The Napoleonic Code made the authority of men over their families stronger, deprived women of any individual rights, and reduced the rights of illegitimate children. All male citizens were also granted equal rights under the law and the right to religious dissent, but colonial slavery was reintroduced. The laws were applied to all territories under Napoleon's control and were influential in several other European countries and in South America.[30]

Walter Francis White (July 1, 1893 – March 21, 1955) was an American civil rights activist who led the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for almost a quarter of a century and directed a broad program of legal challenges to segregation and disfranchisement. He was also a journalist, novelist, and essayist. He graduated in 1916 from Atlanta University (now Clark Atlanta University), a historically black college.
In 1918 he joined the small national staff of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in New York at the invitation of James Weldon Johnson. He acted as Johnson's assistant national secretary and traveled to the South to investigate. White later succeeded Johnson as the head of the NAACP, leading the organization from 1931 to 1955.
White oversaw the plans and organizational structure of the fight against public segregation. He worked with President Truman on desegregating the armed forces after the Second World War and gave him a draft for the Executive Order to implement this. Under White's leadership, the NAACP set up the Legal Defense Fund, which raised numerous legal challenges to segregation and disfranchisement, and achieved many successes. Among these was the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which determined that segregated education was inherently unequal. White also quintupled NAACP membership to nearly 500,000.[1]
Early life and education
White was the fourth of seven children born in Atlanta to George W. White and Madeline Harrison. They belonged to the influential First Congregational Church, founded after the Civil War by freedmen and the American Missionary Association, based in the North. Of all the denominations in Georgia, the Congregationalists were among the most socially, politically and financially powerful.[2] Membership to First Congregational was the ultimate status symbol in Atlanta.[2] Among the new middle class of blacks, both of the Whites ensured that Walter and each of their children got an education. When White was born, George had graduated from Atlanta University and was a postal worker, an admired position in the federal government.[3] Madeline had graduated from Clark University and became a teacher.
Of mixed race with African and European ancestry on both sides, White's appearance showed his high proportion of European ancestry. He emphasized in his autobiography, A Man Called White (p. 3): "I am a Negro. My skin is white, my eyes are blue, my hair is blond. The traits of my race are nowhere visible upon me." Five of his great-great-great-grandparents were black and the other 27 were white. All in his family were light-skinned, and his mother Madeline was also blue-eyed and blonde.[4] It has been suggested that her maternal grandparents were Dilsia, a concubine and slave, and Dilsia's master William Henry Harrison, who much later became president of the United States. Madeline's mother Marie Harrison was one of Dilsia's mixed-race daughters by Harrison, and her father Augustus Ware was a white man.[5] White and his family identified as Negro and lived among the Atlanta Negro community. George and Madeline took a kind but firm approach in rearing their children, encouraging hard work and regular schedules.[6] In his autobiography, Walter relates that his parents ran a strict schedule on Sundays; they locked him in his room for silent prayer, a time so boring that he all but begged to do homework. His father forbade Walter from reading any books less than 25 years old, so he chose to read Dickens, Thackeray, and Trollope by the time he was 12.[7] When he was 8, he threw a rock at a white child who called him a derogatory name for drinking from the fountain reserved for Blacks.[7] Events such as this shaped Walter's self-identity. He began to develop skills to pass for white, a device he used later to preserve his safety as a civil rights investigator in the South.[7]
Career
White was educated at Atlanta University, a historically black college. WEB Du Bois had already moved to the North before White enrolled, but Du Bois and Walter’s parents knew each other well.[8] Du Bois had taught two of Walter’s older brothers at Atlanta University.[8] Du Bois and Walter White later disagreed about how best to gain civil rights for blacks, but they shared a vision for the country. After graduating in 1916 from Atlanta University, White took a position with the Standard Life Insurance Company, one of the new and most successful businesses started by African Americans in Atlanta.
He also worked to organize a chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Atlanta; the organization had been set up several years before and White was supportive of their work. He and other leaders were successful in getting the Atlanta School Board to support improving education for black children, who were kept in segregated schools that were traditionally underfunded by the white-dominated legislature.
At the invitation of James Weldon Johnson, a 25-year-old White moved to New York City, and in 1918 started working at the national headquarters of the NAACP. WEB Du Bois and other leaders of the NAACP eventually got over their concerns about his youth. Walter White took to the ranks of secretary assistant of the NAACP, eventually becoming an undercover agent in lynching investigations. With his keen investigative skills and light complexion, Walter White proved to be the NAACP's secret weapon against white mob violence.[9] White passed as white as a NAACP investigator, finding both more safety in hostile environments, and gaining freer communication with whites in cases of violations of civil and human rights, such as lynchings and hate crimes. He became involved in KKK groups in the South in order to expose those involved in lynchings and other murders. On one occasion he escaped on a train after learning of threats that a black man "passing for white" was being hunted down to be lynched.
To become a popular leader, he needed to fend off the appeal of Marcus Garvey and display a skillful verbal dexterity. His successor at the NAACP, Roy Wilkins suggested "White was one of the best talkers I've ever heard."[10]
Throughout his career, Walter White spoke out against segregation and discrimination while also suppressing manifestations of nationalism. Most notably, Walter White and WEB Du Bois' 1934 conflict was over the latter's endorsement of blacks' voluntary separation within United States society.[11]
Marriage and family
White married Gladys Powell in 1922. They had two children, Jane White, who became an actress on Broadway and television; and Walter Carl Darrow White, who lived in Germany for much of his adult life.
The Whites' long marriage ended in divorce in 1949.[12]
White generated public controversy by his marriage to Poppy Cannon, a white South African magazine editor. Many of his black colleagues and acquaintances were offended. Some said he had always wanted to be white; others said he had always been white.[13]
His ex-wife and children broke off with the couple. White's sister said that he wanted all along simply to pass as a white citizen.[13] His son changed his name from Walter White Jr. to Carl Darrow, signifying his disgust and desire to separate himself from his father.[13]
After the brouhaha, Walter White published an article in Look Magazine entitled "Has science conquered the color line?" It described a new scientific breakthrough that allowed for skin lightening, with the suggestion that such changes would eliminate the color line.[13] By describing "Whiteness as a solution for something to be aspired to, he profoundly insulted the people he had given his life to and all but destroyed his own enormous legacy." [13] He later defended the article by saying that he had intended it satirically. He wanted individual character to matter more than skin color, and wanted people of all skin tones "to realize the full range of possibilities within themselves and not just exercise the easy politics of race."[14]
NAACP
Investigating riots and lynchings
White used his appearance to increase his effectiveness in conducting investigations of lynchings and race riots in the American South. He could "pass" and talk to whites, but also identified as black and could talk to members of the African-American community. Such work was dangerous. “Through 1927 White would investigate 41 lynchings, 8 race riots, and two cases of widespread peonage, risking his life repeatedly in the backwaters of Florida, the piney woods of Georgia, and in the cotton fields of Arkansas.”[15]
In his autobiography, A Man Called White, he dedicates an entire chapter to a time when he almost joined the Ku Klux Klan undercover. White became a master of incognito investigating. He started with a letter from a friend that recruited new members of the KKK.[16] After back and forth correspondence between him and Edward Young Clark, leader of the Ku Klux Klan, it became apparent Clark was interested in White joining.[16] White was eventually invited to Atlanta, Georgia to meet with other Klan leaders, but politely declined for fear if his true identity were found out, he would be killed.[16] White used this access to Klan leaders to further his investigation into the "sinister and illegal conspiracy against human and civil rights which the Klan was concocting."[16] After deeper inquiries into White's life, Edward Young Clark stopped sending signed letters; instead White was threatened by anonymous letters stating his life would be in danger if he ever divulged any of the confidential information.[17] By this time however, White had already turned the information into the Department of Justice and New York Police Department.[17] White understood undermining the strong hold of mob violence would be crucial to progressing his cause.[50]
Walter Francis White, died March 21, 1955
“I was glad I was not one of those who hated; I was glad I was not one of those made sick and murderous....
I was glad my mind and spirit were part of the races that had not fully awakened, and who therefore had still before them the opportunity to write a record of virtue as a memorandum to Armageddon.”

Walter Francis White was born July 1, 1893 in Atlanta Georgia and passed away March 21, 1955 in NYC.
Of African and European ancestry, White said in his autobiography, A Man Called White: "I am a Negro. My skin is white, my eyes are blue, my hair blond. The traits of my race are nowhere visible upon me."
White was a civil rights activist who led the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for almost a quarter of a century and directed a broad program of legal challenges to segregation and disfranchisement. He was also a journalist, novelist, and essayist. He graduated from Atlanta University in 1916, now Clark Atlanta University.
Five of his great-great-great-grandparents were black and the other 27 were white. All of his family were light-skinned. His great grandparents were William Henry Harrison, who later became President of the United States, and his slave Dilsia. His grandparents were Marie Harrison, one of Dilsia's daughters by Harrison, and Augustus Ware who was a white man. His mother Madeline was blue-eyed and blonde, and his father George could pass for white.
The 1906 Atlanta race-riot changed 13-year-old Walter White’s life. White's house was attacked by men intent on hurting the "nigger mail carrier" and evicting him from the house that was "too nice for a nigger." White
said this about the attack: In the flickering light the mob
swayed, paused, and began to flow toward us. In that instant there opened within me a great awareness. I knew then who I was. I was a Negro, a human being with an invisible pigmentation which marked me a person to be hunted, hanged, abused, discriminated against, kept in poverty, and ignorance. This awareness informed the rest of Walter White's life.
In 1918 he joined the small national staff of the NAACP in New York at the invitation of James Weldon Johnson where he acted as Johnson's assistant national secretary. White later succeeded Johnson as the head of the NAACP, serving from 1931 to 1955.

White used his appearance to increase his effectiveness in conducting investigations of lynching and race riots in the American South. He could "pass" and talk to whites, but also managed to identify himself as black and talk to the African-American community. Such work was dangerous, but he investigated 41 lynchings and eight race riots while working with the NAACP.
One of the first riots he investigated was in October 1919 in Elaine Arkansas, where white vigilantes and Federal troops in Phillips County killed more than 200 black sharecroppers. The white militias had come to the town and hunted down blacks in retaliation for the killing of a white man killed in a shootout at a church where black sharecroppers were meeting on issues related to organizing with an agrarian union.
White was granted credentials from the Chicago Daily News. That enabled him to obtain an interview with Governor Charles Hillman Brough of Arkansas. Brough gave White a letter of recommendation to help him meet people, and his autographed photograph.
White was in Phillips County for only a brief time before his identity was discovered; he took the first train back to Little Rock. The conductor told him that he was leaving "just when the fun is going to start", because they had found out that there was a "damned yellow nigger down here passing for white and the boys are going to get him. When they get through with him he won't pass for white no more!"
White oversaw the plans and organizational structure of the fight against public segregation. Under his leader-ship, the NAACP set up the Legal Defence Fund, which raised numerous legal challenges to segregation and disfranchisement, and achieved many successes.
Among these was the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, which determined that segregated education was inherently unequal.
White authored President Truman's presidential order desegregating the armed forces after WWII.
White also quintupled NAACP membership to nearly 500,000.
White was the author of critically acclaimed novels: Fire in the Flint (1924) and Flight (1926). His non-fiction book Rope and Faggot: A Biography of Judge Lynch (1929) was a study of lynching. Additional books were A Rising Wind (1945), his autobiography A Man Called White (1948), and How Far the Promised Land (1955). Unfinished at his death was Blackjack, a novel on Harlem life and the career of an African-American boxer.

Atlanta, Georgia

New York, New York
A twelve-year-old witness to the murderous white riot that killed two dozen black Atlantans and injured hundreds more in 1906, Walter White strove for the next half-century to move America's conscience forward with his honest accounts, in journalism and fiction, of black identity and American racism. His myth-shattering study of American lynchings, his breakthrough Harlem Renaissance novels, his searching autobiography, and his scores of articles for journals and magazines about racial violence, peonage, military discrimination, and other symptoms of American racial injustice established White as an important twentieth-century American writer.
After Walter Francis White graduated from Atlanta University in 1916, the son of Madeline and George White left his job selling insurance and joined the Atlanta branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the influential civil rights organization he would eventually lead through four decades of the twentieth century. Able to "pass" as white because he was light-skinned with blue-eyes, and armed with boundless wits and energy, White became the NAACP's foremost undercover investigator of Southern lynchings, and he personally traveled thousands of miles every year between 1918 and 1927, and reported first-hand on forty-one lynchings, eight race riots and at least two major cases of peonage. "I Investigate Lynchings," a 1929 piece by White in H.L. Mencken's The American Mercury, is an overview of this decade of his investigations, reports that had appeared in the NAACP's monthly The Crisis, or were serialized in major African American newspapers like the Chicago Defender and Pittsburgh Courier, and which had reached national audiences through periodicals such as the New Republic, American Mercury, Nation and Saturday Evening Post. White's 1929 book Rope and Faggot: A Biography of Judge Lynch drew further upon his investigations in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia and other sites of mob white-on-black violence, and he debunked the persistent, unfounded yet still widespread rationalization that white lynchers were reacting to a real threat of black sex crimes. Rope and Faggot established instead White's conclusion that the root of white violence against blacks was economic fear, a phenomenon of industrial, post-slavery America that was nurtured especially by narrow-minded Southern Protestant bigotry. Also in 1927 White contributed two booklets to Emanuel Haldeman-Julius's popular "Little Blue Book" series, The American Negro and His Problems and The Negro's Contribution to American Culture: The Sudden Flowering of a Genius-Laden Artistic Movement.
Like his nonfiction campaigns against lynching, White's two books of fiction sought to convey, from an African-American's perspective, the physical violence, intellectual torment, and political tragedy of racism, through imaginative stories about black American characters. His first novel (The Fire in the Flint, 1924) was one of the very first books of the American "New Negro Renaissance," a modest best-seller that was translated into French, Russian, Danish, German and Japanese. It tells the story of a Northern-educated doctor who returns to his small Georgia hometown determined to help his fellows while not allowing himself to be caught up in "the race question," a decision which proves not only impossible but tragic. White's second book (Flight, 1926) told the story of a young New Orleans woman of mixed-race heritage who attempts to surmount personal and racial crises by "passing" as white, eventually to learn that "the benefits thus secured were not worth the price she had to pay."1
In 1931 White succeeded James Weldon Johnson as the national secretary of the NAACP, and he would later chronicle much of that important organization's mid-century struggles for civil rights in his autobiography and in the posthumously published How Far the Promised Land? (1955).

[14] The will of Richard Stephenson, Sr., in 1765, put into effect, an old southern and very interesting custom. When an aged parent, of a family dies, the youngest son (or child), falls heir to the home place; and there continues to live with the custody and care of the aged mother or father. Here, we understand the youngest son, Marquis, inherited the home place, under these conditions; where his mother, Honor (widow Crawford) Stephenson lived until her death.

[26] Zachariah Connell, the founder of the town of Connellsville, came here a few years later than the settlement of William McCormick, whose brother-in-law he was, having married Mrs. McCormick’s sister, Ann Crawford. He came to this section of country soon after 1770, and stopped at the house of his future father-in-law, Capt. (afterwards Colonel) William Crawford. After his marriage, which was probably in 1773, he lived for some time on the west side of the river, but afterwards, at a time which cannot be exactly fixed (between 1773 and 1778), moved to the east side of the stream and located on a tract of land which was designated in his warrant of survey as “Mud Island,” which included the present site of the borough of Connellsville. He built his log cabin facing the river, on or very near the spot where the Trans-Allegheny House now stands, on Water Street. There he lived for many years, until he removed to the stone house which he had built at the corner of Grave Street and Hill Alley. After the death of his wife, Ann Crawford, he married a Miss Wallace, a sister of “Aunt Jenny” Wallace, who was long and well known in later years as the keeper of the toll-bridge across the Youghiogheny River. The later years of Mr. Connell’s life were devoted to the care of his real estate. He became an ardent Methodist, and donated the lot on which the church of that denomination was built. He died in his stone house on Grave Street, Aug. 26, 1813, aged seventy-two years, and was buried near the residence of John Freeman, where his remains still rest near those of his two wives, and where a broken slab marks the last resting-place of the founder of Connellsville. By his first wife Mr. Connell was the father of four children, of whom two were sons,—Hiram and John. The former lived and died in Connellsville, the latter removed to the West. Of the two daughters, one married William Page, who became a Methodist preacher, and removed with his wife to Adams County, Ohio, about 1810. The other married Greensbury Jones, an exhorter, and emigrated with him to the West. The second wife of Mr. Connell became the mother of two daughters, who respectively became the wives of Joseph and Wesley Phillips, sons of John Phillips, of Uniontown.

[28] In its post-Revolutionary War heyday, the Turkey Foot Road was important enough to be depicted as a principal route on state maps. As such, it facilitated settlement in what was then considered the west, and served the transportation needs of those living near it. Portions became nineteenth century stage and toll roads. The route also facilitated early industrial and mining development in Mount Savage and Barrelville, Maryland in the days before the Mount Savage Railroad.
