The date of the first Negro school report in Grant County is said to be 1881 according to
Samuel Elmore King's 1934 thesis titled A History of Education in Grant County, Kentucky, p.61. There
was one school and one school district located in Dry Ridge [source: King, p.65]. There was a school

of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the Commonwealth of Kentucky]. One of the colored
schools was located in Williamstown in 1891, the teacher was Miss Grace Lewis [source:
"The Williamstown Colored School," Williamstown Courier, 01/19/1891, last page - Grant County Public
Library record]. By 1892, there were five colored schools and two were taught in school
houses [source: King, p.62]. The number of school districts was reduced to three by 1905.
•
A County Institute for Colored Teachers was held in Grant County in 1907-1908 [source:
King, p.64]. There would be only the one colored school in Dry Ridge by 1934, and Zadah Thompson
was the teacher [source: King, p.89]. The Dry Ridge Consolidated Colored School was restored as a a
project of the Northern Kentucky African-American Task Force and the building opened in June of 2011
as the Grant County Black History Museum [source: N. Jameson, "White woman's passion leads to black

Joe Dan Gold dies at age 68
Updated: April 14, 2011, 3:28 PM ET
Associated Press
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Former Mississippi State basketball player and coach
Joe Dan Gold has died after a lengthy illness. He was 68.
Gold, a Benton, Ky., native, averaged 12.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game
from 1961 to 1963 as the Bulldogs won or shared three Southeastern
Conference titles. During his career, Mississippi State had a 65-13 overall
record, including 36-6 in SEC play.
The 6-foot-5 Gold was a team captain as a senior, leading the Bulldogs to their
first NCAA tournament appearance in 1963, where they lost to Loyola of
Chicago 61-51 in the first round. It was the first game Mississippi State played
against black players.
Gold also coached at Paducah Community College and Mercer in the 1970s
before going into high school administration in Kentucky. (Superintendent
Williamstown)
Joe Dan Gold
•
Joe Dan Gold was a fine basketball player at Mississippi State back in the 1960s and later
became the head coach in Starkville. He was part of a great story about college basketball
that tells you how far we have come as a nation. MSU won the SEC in 1963 but in the first
round of the NCAA Tournament the Bulldogs were paired against Loyola of Chicago, which
started four blacks.
•
Governor Ross Barnett of Mississippi ordered Mississippi State to stay home
rather than play a team with black players and the Mississippi Legislature issued
a court-backed injunction that forbid the game. Coach Babe McCarthy defied the
legislature and sneaked his team out of the state in the dead of the night.
•
Mississippi State lost that game to Loyola, which would go on beat Cincinnati and deny
the Bearcats a three-peat, but the great story was a courageous coach and a courageous
team that was willing to stand up for what was right.
We've come a long, long way since then, haven't we?

Civil Rights Era
The Movement Spreads.
• Dr. King was a preacher ,
nonviolent, he based his
ideas on the teachings of
several people . From Jesus ,
he learned to love one’s
enemies.
• King joined with other
ministers and civil rights
leaders in 1957. They formed
the southern Christian
leadership Conference (also
known as SCLC)
• Not to late after that another
group emerged The Student
Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee (SNCC) the
member of this group was
mostly college students who
thought change for African
Americans was occurring too
slowly.
•
•
•
•
One protest was the sit-in. The sitin was African Americans sat at
the whites only lunch counters .
They refused to leave until they
were served .
In 1960 Black students staged a
sit-in at a lunch counter at a
woolworth’s store in greensboro ,
North Carolina . The students sat
there while whites was hitting
them, calling names , poured
food over there heads, even some
went to jail
Soon after that it paid off
because students had
desegregated lunch counters in
48 cities in 11 states
(( pictures on next page ))
Standing Firm
• Civil rights workers soon
turned their attention to
integrating southern schools.
In September 1962, a federal
court allowed James
Meredith to attend the allwhite University of
Mississippi. However,
Mississippi’s governor refused
to admit him. The Kennedy
administration sent in U.S.
marshals. They forced the
governor to let in Meredith.
• Another confrontation
occurred. In 1963 in
Birmingham, Alabama. There,
King and other civil rights
leaders tried to desegregate
the city. Police attacked
activists with dogs and water
hoses.
• Many Americans witnessed
the attacks on television they
were outraged by what they
saw. Eventually, Birmingham
officials gave in. they agreed
to end segregation in the city.
• The civil rights movement
impressed president Kennedy.
He was convinced that the
nation needed a new civil
rights law. Kennedy called
Congress to pass a sweeping
civil rights bill.

Fighting for Voting Rights
•
Civil rights activists next worked to
gain voting rights for African
Americans in the south. The voting
project became known as Freedom
Summer.
•
the workers focused their efforts on
Mississippi. They hoped to influence
congress to pass a voting rights act.
• Robert Moses was a former New
York City School Teacher. He led the
voter project in Mississippi. The
project met with much opposition
and violence.
• At
the 1964 Democratic National convention,
SNCC organized the Mississippi Freedom
Democratic Party (MFDP). The new party hoped
to unseat Mississippi’s regular party delegates at
the convention.
Voting Rights
• Civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer
spoke for the MFDP at the convention.
She gave an emotional speech. As a
result, many Americans supported the
seating of the MFDP delegates.
However, the Democratic Party offered
only 2 of Mississippi’s 68 seats to MFDP
members.
• In 1965, civil rights workers attempted a
voting project in Selma, Alabama. They
met with violent resistance. As a result,
Martin Luther King, Jr. led a massive
march through Alabama. President
Johnson responded by asking congress
to pass a new voting rights act.
Congress passed the Voting Rights act
of 1965. The eliminated state laws that
had prevented African Americans from
voting.
