Amidst Weather Woes and Financial Struggles, Celebrating Joyful Moments in Kentucky's Heart
In the heart of America, Kentucky continues to make strides in various fields, from preserving historical sites to providing aid for those in need. Here's a roundup of some noteworthy developments.
Brent Leggs, a pioneering force in preserving African American history
Brent Leggs, a Black man from Paducah, is making waves in the preservation of sites significant to African American history and culture. As the founder and director of the African American Cultural Action Fund (AACAF), the largest part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Leggs is at the helm of an organisation dedicated to preserving sites of activism, achievement, and resilience. Under his leadership, the AACAF has successfully preserved sites such as Paducah's Hotel Metropolitan, Cherokee Park in the Aurora community in Western Kentucky, and St. James AME Church in Mayfield.

In a different corner of Kentucky, Winchester resident Bill McCann has penned a memoir titled "Yearnings: A Memoir in Prose & Poetry." The book offers a glimpse into McCann's experiences at The Cove Schools, a school for children with learning difficulties in Racine, Wisconsin. The memoir is a rich tapestry woven from historical, medical, and educational records, letters home, and family photographs, offering a unique perspective on a bygone era.
