What you do you know about Black life in Henderson and Henderson County in bygone days?
Do you remember Black schools, educators, coaches and athletes — say, Douglass High School, Pierre Jackson or John Burris?
How about Black entrepreneurs, such as the barbecuing Woolfolk family from near Cairo — or the former Black business district in the 700 block of Dixon Street (now Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard) that in the late 1950s included Moore’s Lunch Room, Acme Drugs, M&H Bar-B-Q, Moore’s Package Store, Dixon’s Barber Shop, Waters Bar-B-Q and Andrews Beauty Shop, just around the corner from Alves Street School and a block away from the W.C. Handy Pool?
