Title
A name given to the resource
Omaha, Nebraska's Patton Hotel
Description
An account of the resource
Prior to the civil rights era, throughout the urban North, most white-owned hotels refused to allow black patrons to stay in their rooms. Black-owned hotels in segregated African American neighborhoods, like the Patton Hotel in Omaha, provided important accommodations for black musicians and other travelers when they came through the city. Some musicians would later reminisce about the “jam sessions” that took place at these African American hotels and the sense of “togetherness” they felt when they stayed there.

Title
A name given to the resource
Omaha Star Delivery Boys
Description
An account of the resource
North Omaha has been home to a number of black newspapers dating back to the 1890s. African American newspapers have historically provided an important alternative to mainstream newspapers, which rarely covered events in black communities, seldom provided African American perspectives on important issues and generally offered a biased or discriminatory view of race relations. By far the most prominent and long-running African American newspaper in Omaha has been the Omaha Star, which was started during the 1930s by Mildred Brown and her husband and which is still published today. For many years, the Star employed a group of boys to deliver the paper each day, providing them with a unique opportunity to gain work experience.

1952 Newspaper Article Discussing Black Voting Power
Description
An account of the resource
Along with the thousands of African American migrants to the urban North during the mid-twentieth century came growing political power. Increasingly, black voters in the North could provide a meaningful margin in local, state and even national elections. This 1952 headline suggests that African American political power has much deeper roots in Nebraska than the more recent historic victory of Barack Obama as the nation’s first black president.
