Book Two in this series, covering January 1923 to December 1924 is a unique compilation of death notices and obituaries printed in the Pittsburgh Courier that reference over one hundred cities and small towns across the United States. In addition to the locations listed below, towns in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wyoming are also featured, along with Washington, D. C. Many of these towns share common roots with the Pittsburgh community and detail how individuals are linked to one another.
The deaths allow us to construct the African American community in these cities and small towns and the role their citizens played in helping to build and live in it.
