   Jackie Burnside, professor of history at Berea College, presented a history of African-Americans in Madison County this week in the Crabbe Library.
   
   The talk, and accompanying PowerPoint, was drawn largely from her book Berea and Madison County, published by Arcadia Press.
   ...
   "As late as the 1870s, there were well-documented lynchings at Madison County Courthouse downtown," Burnside said.
   
   The hangings, Burnside said, were terrorist tactics employed by white supremacists intending to coerce observation of Jim Crow laws.
   
   Only 12 miles away, Berea had dramatically lower incidences of racial violence and lynching.
   
   Burnside said she believes this may be because many black soldiers settled there after the Civil War, and still had their weapons, thus making them less vulnerable targets.
   ...
   Burnside made a point of highlighting the differences between Richmond and Berea.
   
   And students in the audience agreed with Burnside that, while both are college towns of close proximity, they feature very different cultures and atmospheres.
   
   "Berea was a hundred years ahead of its time," said Burnside."It evolved as an integrated community, quite different from Richmond.It's interesting that while in the same county, these very different cultures both had their origins in a slave-holding state."
   
   Burnside said that Berea College was an integrated school until 1904 when Carl Day, after learning of the bi-racial learning environment, proposed a segregation bill.
   ...
   Despite books and even classes on the subject, Burnside said oral tradition remains vital to keeping local history alive.
   
   "As older generations pass on, we're here to keep telling the stories," she said.

   In addition to academics, Middletown students learned manners and values, such as fair play and to help others, said Dr. Jacqueline Burnside, who teaches sociology at Berea College. Burnside recently published a book based on her studies of rural black communities in southern Madison County, including Middletown.
   
   The consolidated school replaced two wooden school buildings near Berea, but it drew students from as far as Kingston and Peytontown, Burnside said.
