Many thanks to Harrison Inefuku, Scholarly Publishing Services Librarian at Iowa State University, for giving me the idea to put blog posts in an ebook and also for encouraging me and providing his expertise to complete this project. I would also like to acknowledge my SCUA colleagues Amy Bishop, Rare Books and Manuscripts Archivist, and Rachael Acheson, Assistant University Archivist, for proofing parts of this publication — their sharp eyes were much needed, as I did not stick to any particular citation style, and appreciated. Finally, I would like to thank Petrina Jackson, Director of the Special Collections Research Center at Syracuse University. She encouraged me to start this project, guided me on my outreach efforts while serving as my department head, and started SCUA on its mission to collect, preserve, and share narratives that have not been represented in our archives and have been marginalized.
