Mr. Jeff discussed the conference in Washington, D, C. of the National
Federation of Settlements which begins March 23, and lasts for two days. The
cost for the two days totaled $50.00. Mr. Jeff suggested that board members
be included in the conferences rather than just staff members. Mr. Tydings
made a motion, seconded by Mr. Baker, to send a delegate from the board to the
National Federation Conference. The motion was carried.
· Mr. Jeff also discussed camping. In the past Plymouth has been involved
in two types; resident and day camping. The resident camping involved 25 youth
for 7 to 10 days at a cost of $600.00 for busing them to Mansfield, Ohio. It
was also necessary to send staff members to the camp. The day camp lasted for
4 weeks and involved 150 youth.
There are alternative plans being considered this year. Wesley House has
a camp and time could be purchased for Plymouth. If this is done it is hoped
that the Kentuckiana Conference will participate by sending approximately 50%
of the campers and Plymouth the other 50%,
The Day Camp could be expanded to serve 200 youth by li~itin£ each t wo
week period to 100 daily campers.
It was also discovered that 15 youth could be sent by Greyhound Bus to
Mansfield, Ohio for a cost of $10.00 each.
Mr. Tydings mentioned to Mr. Collins that "Youth Speaks" has a "Youth
Serves in Summer Time" Program that he might want to involve in t he Loui sville
Federation. ·
There being no further business the meeting adjourned for individual committee meetings.

EXECUTIVE MEErING
The Executive officers of the Plymouth Settlement House Board of
Directors met on Monday evening May 13th at 5:00. Present were Mr. Morris
Jeff, Mr. Jesse Warders, Rev. William Koshewa, Mr. Jonas Baker, and Rev.
Allen L. Kallenbach.
1.
Mr. Jeff mentioned that the Community Chest has requested a preliminary budget by the 15th of May and a final budget by the 15th
of June. He had asked the present staff to review their programs
and to project possible programming for the next year. On this
basis, it was felt that in order to give present staff members a
2-3% increase in salary and to hir·e additional staff, we should request from the Community Chest, $72,000 for 1969. This represents
a '.li 3O,OOO increase over what we will rec• ive in 1968.
2.
There was discussion re '7,ardi ng the possibility of raising additional
funds for the Settlement through some type of Membership System.
3. In discussing the resignation of Mr. William Robinson who has been
serving as Director of Indivi dual Services, Mr . Jeff asked that we
consider hiring a person to work in the area of Programming. This
would free the Executive Director of pres sures in this area, enabling him to devote mor e adequate time to administration.
4.
The Officers acted favorable upon a request by the Federation of
Settlements which was to hire a person to serve as liaison man
during ten weeks this summer. Such a person who might well be
able to serve as a stabilizing force in the community, would be
salaried through an emergency request from the Community Chest.
The request will be made of the Chest as s oon as approval is obtained from all Settlements.
Respectfully submitted,
Allen L. Kallenbach,
Secretary.

PLYMOUTH SETTLEMENT HOUSE BOARD WORKSHOP
and business meeting
Saturday, July 26, 1968
Several members of the Board gathered from 9:00 to 12:00 to meet with
Mr. Richard Collins, Executive of the Federation of the Settlements, who
led the group in a self-study of its role as a Board of Directors.
Following lunch, Mr. Jeff presented a demographic scheme of the Russell
Area in which he mentioned that the rates for crime, juvenile delinquency,
prostitution, illegitimacy, and unemployment were higher than in any other
area of Louisville. Detached workers, Mr. Rip Smith and Mr. Travis Britt
then told of some of the work which they are attempting to do.
The business meeting was called to order at 4:30 following the workshop.
**Motion that we approve the minutes of the last meeting. Carried.
**Mot ion that the financial reports for April, May, and June, be accepted
as presented. Carried.
**Motion to receive the Audit Report as submitted by Cotton and Allen, C.P.A.
Carried.
(
**Motion t hat the Board express confidence in the personal integrity of our
Director and that we support him when he speaks publicly on those matters
which are for him a matter of conscience. Carried after some discussion.
It was suggested that Mr. Jeff, the Program Committee, and the
Interpretation Committee present some concrete suggestions regarding the
future thrust of our program of involvemant in the lives of the people
served by Plymouth Settlement House. The Board members felt that after
the workshop experience they are better equipped for taking postive
action in this direction.
Miss Carter and Mrs. Bandt were present to speak to the critical need
which we have for additional space to house the ambitious program which is
being planned for fall. Mr. Jeff expressed hope that the property committee
would soon delve into this problem.
Mr. Waraers announced that the next meeting will be held in September.
The motion to adjourn carried at 5:08.

The minutes of the July meeting were accepted as presented.

EXECUTIVE'S REPORT
A. Summer Program. - A film contributed by 'MIAS was shown.
was interviewing members of the Community Service Team.
David George
1.
Camp Merry Ledger worked out quite well except for some differences
with Wesley House. It is hoped that next year we willagain have
this camp but at another location.
2.
The Detached Worker Program was felt to be effective. 1400 personal contacts were made by those employed. Mr. Warders shared a
portion of the report which Mr. Richard Collins, Director of the
Federation of Settlements, had sent to Mr. Norman Anderson, Director of Urban Planning.
3. A report was made regarding the 4 visitors from Africa. They
visited Louisville through Operation Crossroads, Africa, Inc.
B.
Mr. Jeff mentioned that most of the Board's Committees had met within
the past several weeks.
C.
United Appeal - Our present program indicates that if we were to include the many volunteer hours which our staff gives, we would be
conducting a $101,000 annual program. Thus, we are asking the Chest
for an increased allocation of $30,000.
Some of the participants in our program will be conducting Fundraising campaigns for United Appeal. Mr. Jeff suggested that the
Board Members provide a campaign team. Mrs. Sweet and Mr. Tucker
volunteered.
D.
New Personnel - Dick Samonds has been employed full time as Organizations Director. Two custodians, one full time and the other part time
have been hired. A male secretary has also been employed.
E.
F.
Program Additions - Basically the same as l ast year=
1. Consumer Education will be added to our Adult Program.
2. A sewing company will be teaching a group this fall.
3. A heritage curiculum is being developed within the adult program.
The Churches in the Russell area are being asked to purchase the
necessary materials for this.
4. A letter from Father Heitzman, West End Catholic Coordinator, responded to the possibility of Plymouth's providing a "satellite"
program at St. Charles Catholic Church, 2704 West Chestnut. The
program committee has been asked to study this possibility.
Child Development Program - CRISIS is the word--stemming from the cut-
back of government funds.
Present proposal is that the program carried
on at Plymouth may be cut from 30 to 15 children. The Community Action
Commission is not involving Plymouth in any of its decision making.
�G.
Status of the Federation - Lack of funding makes the future of the
Federation rather dim. It is unlikely that the Chest will fund the
Federation because of basic policy differences. Mr. Viarders feels
that the Mayor might possibly be persuaded to again make a gift from
his contingency fund.
There seems to be some difficulty in that some of the agencies
are by-passing the Federation.
H.
The Settlement ·will have a Kick-Off Day on September 29 to advertise
the new program and to encourage partici pation in same.
I.
The National Federation of Settlements will have a Conference on
Violence. This will be in Chicago, the first weekend of October.
Mr. Jeff has been asked to be on the program.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. Nominating - The Committee has been considering the pros and cons
of changing the By-Laws to permit a greater representation of
Russell Area Residents on the Board. Inasmuch as this is a matter
of policy involving our relationship to the United Church of Christ,
Mrs. Sweet asked that the committee be augmented to include pers ons
having more direct relationships to the Conference and Denomination.
Rev. Wn. Koshewa and Mrs. Georgia Eugene were appointed.
**Motion by Mr. Gilbert to receive the report. Carried.
B.
Interpretation - Mrs. Banks submitted a report indicating the progress which is being done with the formation of the Auxiliary.

Property - Mr. Bolan submitted re ports from builders and architects
regarding the remodeling and/or rebuilding of our facility.
-H-Motion to receive the report. Carried.
D.
Program - Dr. Wilson commented on some of the program plans. He
indicated the difficulty which all committees have in finding an
acceptable meeting time. Chairman Warders suggested that all Board
Members reserve the time from 6:30-7:00 prior to each Board meeting
for Committee meetings. The chairman of the committee could include an announcement of the meeting vath the announcement of the

MINISTERS OF THE INDIANA-KENTUCKY CONFERENCE
Dear Fellow Pastors:
One of the purposes of adding a fourth member to the Staff of the Indiana-Kentucky
Conference was not only to relieve the heavy load which Harry, Roy and Clyde were
carrying, but also to:
I.
2.
3.
Increase the lines of communication between the Conference and
Association to the local churches and pastors;
To help the Conference and Association to become more effective
tools in assisting our local churches to more adequately fulfill their ministry;
To better assist and uphold the pastors in one of the most
difficult times in history to fulfill your ministry to truly
be "His servants in the service of men".
If we, as your Staff members, are going to be faithful to our "calling" then you
must feel free at all times to use whatever abi Ii ties and services we may have to
offer to you and the churches. Now that there are four of us we will have time to
be with you on Sunday mornings to worsh i.p or to preach if you so desire, to speak
to a fellowship gathering, to meet with one of your Association Committees or even
a local church committee if possible, to sit in on a cabinet meeting, to visit

PLYMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
1630 Wost Chestnut Stre e t
Louisville, Kuntucky
June 7, 1967
Br othe rs and Sisters in Christ:
I am writing sov ural of you to ask for your help in
an experime nt. You have in all probability hoard of tho
11
Hc.,uso Church" idea. It is a means of bringing Christians
togethor t o talk, study and act ~·n tho important issues
of life in our time. While it may appea r to us as a new
ide a, l o t us not forge t that the church began with small
grcups of be lieve rs me e ting in h ume s.
I would like tL: try tho form cf tho church at Plymouth.
Each group would c onsist of approximate ly 15 persons, and
would mee t for t en (10) sessions at the homes of the group
membe rs. It is h upe d that we would deal with such "nonreligious" subjects as automation and technology, population contr ol, poverty and affluenc e , and urbanizati on, all
of which have a terrific impact on our lives and on tho
life of the church.
If you arc inte r es ted in pursuing this ide a furth e r,
ple ase l e t mo know. I would be asking you t o commit
yourself to ten (10) s e ssions on alternate weeks. No
one would find it necessary to travel far from their own
home. I believe you will find this sharing of ide as ve ry
exciting.
Looking forward to a joyful time togethe r, I am,
BDB/mh

Title
A name given to the resource
The Sanders-Bullitt Family Papers
Subject
The topic of the resource
Plantation life--Southern States--Kentucky--History
Description
An account of the resource
A reworking of the Bullitt family papers to highlight the people enslaved by the Bullitt family on the Oxmoor plantation and the Cottonwood plantation from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. One of these families includes the Sanders family, headed by Eliza Sanders and her husband, Jim Sanders. While not all people enslaved by the Bullitt family were tied by blood to the Sanders family, the digitization and exhibition of these sources aim to recognize all of the people and families enslaved by the Bullitt family and bring academic attention to the complex community they fostered among each other while in bondage. This digital collection only represents a small, selective portion of the Bullitt Family Papers, and you can access the finding aid for the entire collection here: https://filsonhistorical.org/research-doc/bullittfamilyoxmoor-html/.
Throughout this project, which was funded by the Kentucky Genealogical Society, we have sought guidance from a number of resources made by fellow public historians and archivists that we would like to credit. The most influential of these is the Archives for Black Lives in Philadelphia (A4BLiP) association and their Anti-Racist Metadata Resources document, published in 2020. This document was immensely valuable to this project and we hope to continue referencing the work of A4BLiP in future initiatives. You can access this document on their website (https://archivesforblacklives.wordpress.com/) or at the following link: https://archivesforblacklives.files.wordpress.com/2020/11/ardr_202010.pdf.
We have also consulted the "Engaging Descendent Communities in the Interpretation of Slavery" rubric from James Madison's Montpelier, a document made in partnership with National Trust for Historic Preservation’s African-American Cultural Heritage Action Fund. This document was created by and for public historians during the National Summit for Teaching Slavery, held at Montpelier in February 2018. You can learn more about the summit, and download the rubric, here: https://digitaldoorway.montpelier.org/project/national-summit-on-teaching-slavery/.
Another resource referenced during this project was The Reckoning podcast, produced by Dan Gediman, Loretta Williams, and Nancy Rosenbaum, which featured much of the Filson's materials and nurtured a conversation between descendants of people enslaved at Oxmoor and the ways our society has yet to reckon with the legacy of slavery. You can access the podcast, along with other educational materials on the history of enslavement in Kentucky, at the following link: https://reckoningradio.org/.
Special thanks to Shirley Harmon, now curator at the Oxmoor Farm Historic Site, for cataloguing this massive collection all those years ago. The only reason that this digitization project was possible was because of your work in noting the names of enslaved people while cataloguing, knowing that it would be useful one day. Thank you.
This collection will be added to and revised as further information arises, and as new evidence of the people enslaved by the Bullitt family is found. This project does not and never can include every single person the Bullitt family enslaved, as many enslaved people in Kentucky and beyond have been intentionally erased or ignored from the historical record. Furthermore, the fact that few enslaved people had last names while in bondage can make genealogical research difficult for descendants. Many, but not all, enslaved people adopted the last name of their former enslaver after Emancipation. This collection includes people who were enslaved by the Speed, Bullitt, Stites, Fry, Chenoweth, Christian, Massie, Dixon, Gwathmey, Huie, Garrard, Breckenridge, and Courtenay families, among others. We hope the digitization of and open access to these materials can aid descendants of these families in their search for their ancestors.
If you'd like to provide feedback, or have any questions, comments, or concerns, we'd love to hear from you. You can reach us at research@filsonhistorical.org

A name given to the resource
First American West, 1750-1820
Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

First American West, 1750-1820
Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.

Title
A name given to the resource
First American West, 1750-1820
Description
An account of the resource
Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects. The collection documents the travels of the first Europeans to enter the trans-Appalachian West, the maps tracing their explorations, their relations with Native Americans, and their theories about the region's mounds and other ancient earthworks. Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals. Books and letters document the new settlers' migration and acquisition of land, navigation down the Ohio River, planting of crops, and trade in tobacco, horses, and whiskey.<br /><br />The First American West: The Ohio River Valley, 1750-1820 consists of 15,000 pages of original historical material documenting the land, peoples, exploration, and transformation of the trans-Appalachian West from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century.
