Portraits of African Americans Who Made a Difference in Loudoun County, Virginia The first publication of the Black History Committee evolved from the committee’s outreach to the Loudoun County community to solicit nominations for the naming of a room in honor of an African American at Thomas Balch Library in Leesburg, Virginia. More than twenty strong nominations were received. After considerable deliberation, Howard W. Clark, Sr., of Hamilton, was selected. The committee concluded that the other nominees also deserved to be honored. To that purpose, The Essence of a People was published in May of 2001. In order to convey a bit of the character and personality of the nominees, additional material, including family stories and photographs, was gathered and included in this book. To provide perspective, a brief essay on the history of African Americans in Loudoun County is included, as well as a list of the many individuals who helped collect materials and conduct research. Indexed.
