Title	Civil Rights Article
Subject	African American Ohioans Civil Liberties Time capsules Newspapers Courthouses
Place	Xenia (Ohio) Greene County (Ohio)
Description	This article, titled "Negroes Must Unite for Improvement and Protection" was published in The Observer, an African-American newspaper in Greene County, Ohio. In the article, Dr. J.N. Johnson calls for African Americans to join together to fight for civil rights. The paper is four pages and measures 15.5" x 21.75" (39.37 x 54.68 cm). The article was included in the time capsule that was placed in the cornerstone of the Greene County Courthouse in 1901. In January 1901, the building commission overseeing the building of the new Greene County Courthouse asked the Masons to take charge of ceremonies to commemorate the laying of the cornerstone. A "deposits committee" was formed to collect the items to be buried in a small copper box under the cornerstone during the ceremonies on March 15, 1901. The box remained buried until February of 2001, when it was recovered and opened for the centennial ceremonies on March 15, 2001.
