There have been many contributors to the establishment of this esteemed document on the African American involvement in the Civil War. We should like to recognize these contributors and thank them for their help.

First, we would like to thank Dr. Betsy Ervin for her support and guidance throughout our endeavors with our portion of the source book; also, Chris Mele for giving us background information on the Jervay Housing Project. He helped give us a perspective of what we needed to accomplish.

The African American Cultural Center and the Randall Library associates provided and helped our document. Special thanks to Assistant Director Helena J. Lee of the Office of Minority Affairs and Dr. William Woodward Hall, Jr., Director of the Center of Business and Economic Services, for helping our group with this project. Thanks to the English Department, we were able to use the computer lab to print out our document. Finally, we would like to thank the Honors Program for providing us with the supplies we needed to put our volume together.

Thank you, everyone, for your support and help through the duration of constructing our volume of the source book.
