At a time when Jim Crow laws and segregation kept blacks and whites separated throughout the nation, Buxton was integrated. African American and Caucasian residents lived, worked, and went to school side by side. The company provided miners with equal housing and equal pay, regardless of race, and offered opportunities for African Americans beyond mining. Professional African Americans included a bank cashier, the justice of the peace, constables, doctors, attorneys, store clerks, and teachers. Businesses, such as a meat market, a drugstore, a bakery, a music store, hotels, millinery shops, a saloon, and restaurants, were owned by African Americans. For 10 years, African Americans made up more than half of the population. Unfortunately, in the early 1920s, the mines closed, and today, only a cemetery, a few foundations, and some crumbling ruins remain."--Cover. 651 0 $a Buxton (Iowa) $x History $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Buxton (Iowa) $x Buildings, structures, etc. $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Buxton (Iowa) $x Social life and customs $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Buxton $z Buxton $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Lost architecture $z Buxton $z Buxton $x History $v Pictorial works. 651 6 $a Buxton (Iowa) $x Histoire $v Ouvrages illustreÌs. 651 6 $a Buxton (Iowa) $x Constructions $v Ouvrages illustreÌs. 651 6 $a Buxton (Iowa) $x MÅurs et coutumes $v Ouvrages illustreÌs. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $z Buxton $z Buxton $v Ouvrages illustreÌs. 650 6 $a Monuments disparus $z Buxton $z Buxton $x Histoire $v Ouvrages illustreÌs. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / State & Local / Midwest (IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, SD, WI) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PHOTOGRAPHY / Subjects & Themes / Historical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PHOTOGRAPHY / Subjects & Themes / Regional. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a TRAVEL / Pictorials. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a Buildings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00840962 650 7 $a Lost architecture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01002644 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 7 $a Iowa $z Buxton. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01223978 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 830 0 $a Images of America. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1619/2016941007-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1619/2016941007-d.html 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240129100331.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3DE85238BEAF11EEA36E4455183FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
