H. Scott Wolfe, Historical Librarian of the Galena Public Library District, has worked for years to record and commemorate the rich history of African American residents, entrepreneurs, and church communities in Galena.

In this presentation, Wolfe will give an overall survey of the Black experience in Galena during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the significant, yet often overlooked, role African Americans played in shaping the town's history and development.
