With the assistance of Tamaria Kelly, Uncrowned Queens Institute intern, we are beginning to compile the contents of the next book in the Uncrowned Community Builders Series. This book will focus on the Uncrowned Kings of Western New York. Ms. Kelly, an undergraduate student, majoring in Sociology and African American Studies, has spent the two semesters doing the research for this volume. Ms. Kelly has also conducted several oral history interviews with Uncrowned Kings who were in the military. The subject of Black men’s military experiences may become the topic of a separate paper.
