NEW Upper Ohio Valley Historical Review (Vol. 43, No. 2, Winter 2023-2024) Available Now!

The new edition of the Upper Ohio Valley Historical Review, Volume 43, No. 2, Winter 2023-2024 is available now at the Circulation Desk at the Library.

The new edition explores modern race relations in Wheeling with articles by Brian Kammer, "Broken Promises: Redlining, Urban Renewal, and the Destruction of Wheeling’s Multi-Racial and Black Neighborhoods (Part I)," and Tim Triveri, "The Turbulent Years, 1968-1971: A Review of Race Relations in Wheeling, WV and a Call for Community Action."

Originally from Wheeling, Kammer is a legal aid lawyer in Decatur, Georgia. He has defended death-sentenced prisoners in Georgia for over two decades. That work necessarily involved investigating how class and racial inequality and injustice impacted his clients' lives and their communities. In recent years he has documented the history of segregation and racial disenfranchisement in Wheeling.

Also a Wheeling native, Triveri now lives in Canonsburg, PA with his wife. He is a public school history teacher at Wheeling Park High School and earned his MA in History from Slippery Rock University.

• "Making a Way Out of No Way: Wheeling in the Green Book" by Seán P. Duffy

• "Broken Promises: Redlining, Urban Renewal, and the Destruction of Wheeling’s Multi-Racial and Black Neighborhoods (Part I)" by Brian Kammer
