Compass Points - Volume 2
Compass Points Volume 2 got its start back in 1998 when one of Dr. Small's students made the comment, "Blacks have never done anything in this country, nor on the Eastern Shore." That night, Small stayed up all night and wrote a 32 page manuscript. Over the next 15 years, Small continued to work on her labor of love. She spent time researching the individuals she wanted to profile and conducted interviews with friends, family, coworkers, and even the individuals themselves when possible. Small hopes that the Compass Points series will help educate people about the many contributions made by African Americans in the area.
Compass Points Volume 2 is Small's fourth book. Her other works include Compass Points Volume 1, Reality Check: Brief Biographies of African-Americans on Delmarva, released in 1998 and Men of Color to Arms! Manumitted Slaves and Free Blacks from the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland Who Served in the Civil War, co-authored with David Briddell.
