Note from the Editor

The origin of Black History month began 1926 when Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a graduate of Harvard University, founded Negro History Week. Dr. Woodson felt that African Americans were ignored and not properly represented in history. He chose Negro History Week to be observed in the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, Negro History Week evolved into Black History Month. Dr. Woodson also established the Association for the Study of AfroAmerican Life and History in 1915, and the Journal of Negro History in 1916. He also wrote several books, one of which was, "The Miseducation of the Negro," published in 1933.1

In honor of Black History, this month’s featured paper doll is Elizabeth Key Grinstead (1630-1665). Elizabeth Key was born in the Virginia colony to an African indentured servant mother and a free English father. Before Elizabeth’s father died, he made arrangements for her to be free when she turned 15. Unfortunately, the person who had custody of Elizabeth’s indenture did not release her from that status. Therefore, she and her infant son (the result of her union with her future husband William Grinstead) were later classified as slaves. With the assistance of William, who was an attorney, Elizabeth became one of the first slaves in the North American colonies to sue for and be granted freedom for herself and her son. Once Elizabeth and her son were free, the court ordered that she be compensated for her lost years as an indentured servant and slave. Later, she and William were married.2 - Nova Edwards 1
