Today we remember one of the most painful chapters of Kentucky’s story – the history of racialized slavery – by celebrating the centuries-long struggle that led to its abolition.

As we contend with our collective past, UK Libraries has an important role to play. With extensive primary source documents and a wide range of resources, we serve as a gateway into the study of the lived experiences and histories of enslaved people in Kentucky, their emancipation, and the Black experience across the 160 years that have followed.

woes betide ye W***y T! 🙀 stretched and wracked! 🌪️ the fruits of the groves of these trees of knowledge have distended your once sturdy stomach and sent Cats reeling, woe! woe to know! woe to have peered into the universal fabrics and run sharp claws along their stitching! 🍂 what hairballs have been coughed from nature's vexations? colossal! 🕸️ close the book, Cats! no, open it again! apples! snakes! blessings barbed and curses cloaked! 🪤 where is the limit to the great Cat Mind, the edge of Happy Knowing? woe!

W***y T has sensed the storm ⛈️ and awaits the prismatic promise, somewhere on the border of hill and dale 🌈 will there be rainbows, Cats? upon which page is the visible spectrum of electromagnetism described, and who put it there? is it from a volume long since checked out!? recall it! 📜 foretaste of migraine, foretaste of the heavy Cat head, overweighed with the factual! 🙀 too leaden to be groomed!
