Call to Order
Ms. Deetz called the work session to order at 6:26 PM.
Work Session
The work session began at 6:26 p.m. This turned out to be the best time for this meeting.
The first item on the agenda was a discussion of what the committee wants to do to honor historic
preservation month in May. The second item addressed the commission’s role in working with city staff,
moving forward into the future. What role does the commission want to play in the three current
grants? What does this commission want to be?
Ms. Deetz outlined upcoming activities of the HCJ to provide some ideas for the HPC. She said the
Salvage Shop got a $10,000 grant from DNR to expand their salvage operations. They are taking on eight
counties to keep stuff from going to the landfill. The shop is open the third Saturday of the month.
They will also be having workshops on those days covering material like how to utilize salvage doors and
refurbishing furniture, as opposed to dumping it in the landfill. HCJ has also asked a couple of
contractors to come in show how to cut tile and other construction practices.

Special Meeting – Tuesday, March 8, 2022
Council Chambers – John G. Christy Municipal Building
320 E. McCarty Street/Virtual WebEx Meeting
The Homes tour this year will be in September and will be on Capitol Avenue. There is going to be
workshops during the Homes tour. HCJ is trying to make it more interactive.
HCJ will be holding their annual luncheon on May 22. Ms. Deetz will let you know where. The location
has not been set yet. The Volunteer Award, Pioneer Award and Gregory Stockard Award will be given
out at that luncheon. HCJ is already working on the MidMOGis and background on that. What can we
do in correlation?
Ms. Patterson agreed. Why reinvent the wheel when another organization is already working on things
and we can work in tandem with them. HCJ is looking for workers for the Salvage Shop so it can open
more than one day a month.
Ms. Patterson – Maybe the commission could work on a clean up day at one of the city owned
cemeteries in honor of Historic Preservation Month? This would be an investment of time and sweat
equity.
Ms. Senzee brought up the Historic Preservation Plan as a reminder of the powers that the commission
holds as commission. That is why the code revision is so important. If you have a good foundation, then
you can draw in your non-profits and your private entities that are able to use historic preservation as a
tool. The Commission should definitely do some outreach. Ms. Senzee verified that all members have a
copy of the plan as a tool for their work.
Mr. Wheat thought that working at the cemeteries, (cleaning headstones, etc.) would be a good way to
get the public involved. He thought this would be a good way to get a lot of citizens involved. He
volunteered to contact Nancy Thompson to set this event up.
Ms. Deetz stated that she and Councilwoman Ward are working on making changes to the ordinances
and it is something the commission can start working on. This is the demolition for dangerous buildings
and it tells how to get the bids to take down the buildings. There are actually two facets to this: 1) Once
it is settled that a building is dangerous and a contract has been set for the demolition, a week can be
built in for a licensed, insured group to go in and do salvage, somebody that would benefit from that
salvage; 2) The other one covers dangerous buildings. It is Missouri’s Abandoned Housing Act – Action
Item B-27 that says that a non-profit can go to the court and petition it to make improvements to a
building. At the end of the process, the owner would either repay the non-profit for the work that has
been done, or, it is possible for the court to deed over the property to the non-profit. This is an
identified measure in our plan.
Ms. Patterson guided the meeting back to Historic Preservation Month in May. She asked that
commission focus on May. She proposed that the commission try a “Did you know?” campaign. This
would be a vehicle to get the word out about the code revisions and other actions of the HPC. Possibly
social media, or the newspaper. Ms. Senzee stated that the Commission does have a Facebook page.
Ms. Senzee was contacted by Cathy Bodner, who is the previous administrator for the FB page and get
City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission Minutes
Special Meeting – Tuesday, March 8, 2022
Council Chambers – John G. Christy Municipal Building
320 E. McCarty Street/Virtual WebEx Meeting
the password. Ms. Senzee will check and make sure the HPC can reestablish a social media page. The
HPC discussed each member creating 3-4 “did you knows” and get them to Ms. Senzee before the April
meeting for review. Ms. Patterson proposed going back to the Historic Preservation Plan and pulling
items from there so they are not creating things from scratch. Ms. Deetz checked with members about
this plan of action and the consensus was in favor of the idea.
Mr. Wheat agreed to follow up with the city cemeteries’ about clean up efforts for May for Historic
Preservation month.
Ms. Senzee next discussed the grant cycle for the HPF grant funding. We have until August 31 until the
first grant is due and usually around that time is when the next grant cycle it opening up. We have
already applied for two grants for this next cycle. One of these is a grant for design guidelines. The
design guidelines will be a how to of preservation across the community. It is not going to be for a
specific to design guidelines for local historic districts, even though it will have those as appendices.
Basically, a one-stop shop for everything preservation, whether you are doing infill development,
whether you are doing restorations, or demolitions. Basically, taking your old historic neighborhoods
and making sure they still have vibrant life in them.
Ms. Deetz asked Ms. Senzee who would do this work? Ms. Senzee stated that this work would be
contracted out because this is a big bite. And that is something that will be incorporated into the code
revisions.
The other grant is for phase three of the West Main district. Staff applied for more survey work along
West Main last fall. This group determined that boundaries. Staff will distribute the boundaries to the
group. West Main is going to take time to get done. But, going back to the grants, if we know and plan
activities ahead, because it is basically on a three-year cycle. Rachel likes to use the Paul Bruhn grant as
an example. We are working on program development and had our national park service kick off that
grant. We were only one of eleven in the country to receive it and there were only two other
municipalities, the rest were historic preservation offices or state historical societies. We used historical
preservation funds to do the structural survey of 100 properties in the Missouri State Capitol and Old
Munichberg historic districts. We did that to demonstrate what we already knew. We already knew that
we had some problems with our structures. We knew that we had the problems first and went after the
Paul Bruhn grant to help solve the structural issues. So, if we think about our projects in the long-term
cycle, we can plan our activities ahead, because it is a three year cycle.
Ms. Deetz asked Ms. Senzee how the commission could help with this and Ms. Senzee replied that the
commission could help identify the priorities and thinks that the historical context with help identify a
lot of priorities in context. Ms. Senzee wants to also start looking at some of the more commercial areas,
maybe do a resurvey of downtown, because the last one was in 1976. Maybe think ahead of some of
the activities they want to do and plan.

Special Meeting – Tuesday, March 8, 2022
Council Chambers – John G. Christy Municipal Building
320 E. McCarty Street/Virtual WebEx Meeting
Councilwoman Ward stated that the Old Munichberg Association is looking to extend its national
registry area. So, if there are ways we can look at ways to expand that area. Currently, there is the
Broadway Street district and the 500 block of E. Dunklin.
Ms. Deetz asked Rachel to send the commission the GIS links for National Register properties. Rachel
said yes. The city is also working on its own GIS layer and eventually implementing story mapping. This
would let people see what their property used to look like for restoration purposes.
Mr. Schaefer thought that the “did you knows” would be a good place to post this information and link
so people would know what to go after. Things like, what are the requirements, how do I qualify for a
National Register or am I in a Historic District? That is information that would benefit a lot of people.
Maybe the commission could start with an ad in the newspaper pointing out the GIS links and how to
get to it.
Ms. Deetz encouraged everyone to read through the action items and bring some ideas to the next
meeting on how the commission can be more proactive. Also bring back three ideas, for did you knows
to the next meeting.
Adjournment
Ms. Patterson made formal motion to adjourn, Mr. Schaefer seconded. The ayes were unanimous.

The staff report and staff comments are not conclusive of the historical and cultural significance of the proposed district.
According to the Historic Context of Jefferson City, most of the Foot was demolished for the Campus View Urban
Renewal project. The Historic Context states, “the federal Housing Act of 1949 provided the funding and the eventually
the buildable land for new urban renewal projects. According to the Lincoln Clarion, “this urban renewal program is
concerned not only with the sore spots that blight produced but with protecting the community as a whole against the
threat of blight.” Urban renewal was supposed to redevelop areas that had fallen into disrepair, aka “blight.” Urban
renewal projects were attractive for cities because federal funding provided the bulk of the budget. Unfortunately, many
projects took place in areas that had suffered from long-time disinvestment, often because they were African American
neighborhoods. In Jefferson City, the institutional support from Lincoln University was somewhat unusual for these
projects. The federally funded Campus View Urban Renewal Project began to be worked on in approximately 1959. The
project was not uniformly popular. It focused on redevelopment in the area surrounding Lincoln University. By the mid-
1960s opposition to Campus View was well underway. The Foot had been largely demolished, and resident relocation
was not as smooth as anticipated.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
According to the application submitted:
The 700 block was home to the “The House of Process and Ultra Wave”, Turners Filling Station (owned by an African
American, it was the only station where African American clients knew they could be served), and Mr. Carl Johnson’s
Barber Shop. The 700 block was filled with homes of African Americans, many of them were faculty, staff, and
administration at Lincoln University. This was known as “the Foot” as the stairway lay at the foot of a long set of steps
up the hill to the university’s campus.
The 600 block was home to the Eldorado Club, Miss Leona’s diner, Jack’s Drug Store, and the Booker T. Hotel. The
Booker T. Hotel was listed in the 1940 Green Book and it was the only hotel that African Americans could stay. The 600
block also included Norman’s Confectionary, The Tops, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Glover Brown Sr., was known for
excellent BBQ, and at least one Missouri Governor visited.
The 500 block was home to Logan’s Shoe Repair, owned by Benjamin Harrison Logan, who was the grandson of one of
the founding soldiers of Lincoln Institute.
The 400 block was home to Dr. and Mrs. Richardson. Dr. Richardson, from the Caribbean, had his medical office in the
basement of his home. Because of segregation, Dr. Richardson did not have privileges at St. Mary’s Hospital. When one
of his patients became ill enough to enter the hospital, Dr. Richardson had standing arrangements with one of his white
colleagues to look after his hospitalized patients. The Richardson’s owned a small house with pinkish/rose-colored
shingles that they rented out to Mr. and Mrs. Allen Busby. Mr. Busby worked at Lincoln University for 23 years and
continued with the university by serving as a counselor to veterans returning home from the Vietnam War. In the
southern portion of the 400 blocks, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Blue and their daughters lived. Mr. Blue, received his Doctor of
Philosophy degree at Harvard University. He served in the English Department at Lincoln University. Quinn Chapel AME
Church is now located in the area of the Blue’s residence.

THE FOOT
Most of the African American community in the forties, fifties and into the early sixties in Jefferson City
lived on streets close to or adjacent to Lincoln University: Lafayette, Dunklin, Elm, Miller, Chestnut, Linn,
Locust, Marshall, Jackson, Atchison, Maple Streets., and Clark Avenue. A few African American families
lived near or within the boundaries of Washington Park. Wherever these families lived, the hub of black
-- - --._ --.business and social.activity remained onLafayette.Stree._ _-- -_--..
700 block of Lafayette St.
This block was filled with homes of African Americans, many of them faculty, staff and administrators at
Lincoln University. The main entrance to Lincoln University was a set of steps on the southeast comer of
Lafayette and Dunklin Streets. This was known as "the Foot" as the stairway lay at the foot of a long set of
steps up the hill to the university's campus.
At some point a few businesses were located on the southwest corner of Dtmklin and Lafayette Streets.
This building actually faced Dunklin Street A new shop opened at this location at the same time that some
African American men began to have their hair processed, sort of the precursor of the Jerry Curl (Jeri). The
shop, called "The House of Process and Ultra Wave," was directly across the street from Turners Filling
Station. Shortly after, Mr. Carl Johnson moved his Barber Shop into this location. There was also a liquor
store, confectionery/ pool hall located in this same building owned by Clifton Dameron (Wingie), along
with a dinner type restaurant, an early version of our modern day strip mall. In later years a few modest
apartments were added to the western most end of the building, shortly before the introduction of the Urban
Renewal Plan, which devastated this area.
600 block of Lafayette St.
Eldorado Club: This establishment was in a single building that housed three businesses on its first floor.
The Eldorado Club was a pool hall. Out front were benches where men sat and watched the traffic going
by.
Miss Leona's: Miss Leona owned and ran a diner on the northeast corner of Lafayette and Elm Streets. It
was in the same building as the Eldorado Club and was at the northern end of the building. Her meals
were said to be hie old home cooking. Dr. Harold F. Lee, a single man who taught at Lincoln University,
always bought his dinner at Miss Leona's
Jack's Drug Store: Jack King owned this store that was housed in the same building as the Eldorado Club
and Miss Leona's Diner. At the southern end of the building, it was a liquor store that was said to sell most
over-the-counter medications such as aspirin (no prescription medications).
Booker T. Hotel, 600 Lafayette Street was owned by Charles Mayberry Sr.: where it was originally named
the Mayberry Hotel. In the 1930s and 1940s it was owned by a white man by the name of Murphy Clark,
and the hotel was named the Lincoln Hotel. By 1945, when Leo Daniels, another white man from
southeast Missouri, owned the hotel, and thus given the name Booker T. Hotel. In 1953 the hotel changed
hands again, and was owned by Mr. Rufus Petty, a nephew to Annie Mayberry, one of the desendancc of
Charlie Mayberry, one of the original owners of the property when it was called the Mayberry Hotel. Mr
Petty renamed it the Carver HoteL Mr. Petty was active in the Second Baptist Church, the local NAACP,
and the Tony Jenkins American Legion Post 231 (see attachment C1). According to the Green Book, in the
1940s this was the only hotel where African Americans traveling through Jefferson City could stay. It also
housed one of three black taxi cab companies located in the area. It was on the northwest corner of
Lafayette Street, directly across from the building that housed Jack's Drug Store, the Eldorado Club, and
Miss Leona's Diner. African American entertainers who came to Jefferson City to perform stayed at this
hotel unless they were housed in the homes ofAfrican American residents. The hotel had a restaurant
withili•its walls and a large room where parties/dances could be held. Rooms were known to be rented by
the hour as well as overnight.
The Green Boolc This was a book intended to let African American travelers in the United States know
where they could stop to spend the night, eat a meal, buy gasoline, have their cars fixed or use the restroom
in cities and towns across the country. The book also covered parts of Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
It was published annually from 1936 to 1966 by Victor Green, an African. American postal worker and
travel.agent located in New York. -As the black middle .class increased, African Americans_often traveled._ .....
more and more by car to avoid discrimination and insults suffered on public transportation of the time.
Norman's Confectionery: This small shop in the middle of the 600 block of Lafayette St. on the west side
was owned by two Lincoln University graduates, name unknown and Sopbronia Norman. They sold candy,
commercially wrapped cookies and pies, ice cream treats, soda and cigarettes and they also stocked a small
selection of canned goods (soup, chfii, etc.) Mr Dan 1 irner also operated a small soda shop in this area,
and later built a modern, moderate sized grocery store in this location.
At some point, Mr. Carl Johnson opened a barber shop in a building in the middle of the block on the west
side. His shop may have occupied the building that had been Norman's confectionery.
A house just north of The Tops was owned by Miss Minnie White. In this fairly large home, lived Miss
Minnie, her daughter Phyllis, and her two children, one or two of Miss Minnie's adult sons and another
family, possibly cousins, with the surname of Wade. There were approximately three houses that lay on the
west side if Lafayette street between Norman's Confectionery and the White family home.
The Tops: Located at 626 Lafayette Street, called a bar and grill, was more a restaurant with a bar. The
Tops was owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Glover Brown, Sr. Many Lincoln University students who
did not care for the food served in Lincoln's cafeteria ate at the Tops. This restaurant was known for its
excellent barbecue; at least one Missouri Governor used to visit the Tops, driven by his chauffeur to its rear
door. Many visiting African American dignitaries, as well as many national and international African
American celebrities ate at this establishment.
In the basement of the Tops building (owned by Mr. Brown) was a barber shop for African American
customers. At times there were two barbers working in this shop, but Mr. West was the principal barber in
this shop. The shop was reached by an outside stairway.
Turner's Filling Station: This filling station actually faced Dunklin Street. It sat at the northeast corner of
Lafayette and Dunklin Streets. Not only gasoline and oil were sold here, but the station served as an auto
repair center. This station was the only one in Jefferson City owned by an African American; it was the
only station where African American clients, local or traveling, knew that they could be served.
At the northeast corner of Lafayette and Dunklin Streets across from Turner's Filling Station where several
buildings were located at various times. In the early 1940s, in 1942, there was a black owned restaurant on
that corner. In later years there was a bookstore located in a budding on that corner, along with a dry
cleaning service. It is now home to the annex building of the Second Christian Church, Disciples of Christ
located at 631 Lafayette Street.
500 block of Lafayette Street
Tayes Barber Stop: Mr. Tayes had a one -chair barber shop in the 500 block of Lafayette St. on the west
side of the street, not far north of the corner of Lafayette and Elm Streets. The shop building seemed to
lean to the north, and when a customer walked across the floor inside, it seemed that the building was
shaking.
Logan's Shoe Repair was originally located at 610 Lafayette Street in 1919, where he made shoes for
soldiers during WW1, and then moved in 1925 into the Logan home at 524 Lafayette Street Logan's Shoe
Repair was founded by Benjamin Harrison Logan, who was the grandson of one of the founding soldiers of
Lincoln Institute, later to become Lincoln University.
Just under where the freeway goes over Lafayette St. now was the home of Mr. Duke & Mrs. Estella Diggs,
Mrs Diggs was known as one of the "grande dames" of the Jefferson City's African American community.
( see attacment 1B ). The house was a substantial two-story brick house with a front porch across the front.
Just north of the Diggs home were four houses including three identical Craftsman style houses. One was
occupied by the Mayberry family. The northernmost of these houses was occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
---Charles (Lefly).Robinson and their .three.daughters....Mr. Robinson, called Lefly,was.often .known_as_the.._ _—....._.. _ .
"Mayor of Bronzeville." Mr. Robinson was the coordinator of all the funerals for the Jefferson City black
community.. Although he was not known as a fimeral director himself Dullley Funeral home allowed him
to enlist their mortician services and some times, in later years, their facilities to conduct the funeral
services. He knew everyone in the black community and many people in the white community as well.
When civic matters were being discussed, Mr. Robinson was frequently called upon to serve as the voice of
the black community. (See attachment 1A)
The house farthest north on the west side ()film 500 block of Lafayette St. was ultimately occupied by Dr.
Ross, an osteopathic physician who came to Jefferson City at about the time that the Charles Still Hospital
was opened. (Before his arrival, the only African American physician, Dr. Richardson, was unable to
practice at St. Mary's Hospital. Dr. Ross lived in his house and had his office there, too.
On the east side of the 500 block of Lafayette St were five or six homes. This was before the recently
vacated Quinn Chapel AME Church was built. The church vacated this location due to updating and
expansion of the 50/63 Rex Whitton Expressway.
400 block of Lafayette Street
Catty -cornered from Dr. Ross' home/office, on the northeast corner of Lafayette and Miller Streets was the
home of Dr. and Mrs. Richardson. Mrs. Nana Belle Richardson competed as one of the "grande dames" of
the African American community. Dr. Richardson, from the Caribbean, had his medical office in the
basement of his home. The entrance to his office was on Miller St Because of segregation Dr. Richardson
did not have privileges at St. Mary's Hospital; when one of his patients became ill enough to enter the
hospital, Dr. Richardson had standing arrangements with one of his white colleagues to look after his
hospitalized patients. Living with the Richardson's at times was Mrs. Clementine Haley, Mrs. Richardson's
much younger sister. At other times, Mrs. Haley rented the Richardson's much smaller house next door, a
house set far back from Lafayette St. At one point this house was covered with pinkish/rose colored
shingles
Just next door to the Richardson's rental house was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Busby. After twenty-
three years on Lincoln's faculty, Mr. Busby continued his connection with the university by serving as the
Counselor to veterans returning from the Vietnam War.
The farthest south, next to the alley, was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Blue and their two daughters. Mr.
Blue, received his Doctor of Philosophy degree at Harvard University. He served in the English
Department at Lincoln University. Located in this area, is the current home of Quinn Chapel AME Church

Cole County History: 'Lefty' Robinson, the king of Jefferson City Mohawk Baseball
Ncvemb r 23, 2019 at 5:05 a.m. I Updated January 6: 2020 et 6:10 p.m
Charles "Lefty" Robinson
The "Jefferson City Mohawks reigned as king of baseball in Jefferson City." That quote ran in a 1969 News
Tribune sports feature more than 40 years after the team was organized.
Charles "Lefty" Robinson was the pitcher and later manager for the impressive team of black players who
took on exhibition games with American Negro Baseball League teams, including the Kansas City
Monarchs, St. Louis Stars and Birmingham Black Barons, as the professionals traveled across the state.
The Mohawks hosted the 1932 Negro Baseball Championships of Central Missouri at Whiteway Park. But
more often, they played at Lincoln Park, enclosed by a board fence near Lincoln University's practice field,
according to Gary Kremer.
Before the Mohawks organized in 1922, the Jefferson City Hubs were the big team for black players. But
they only had two local players. After the locally filled Mohawks beat the Hubs twice decisively in the
1920s, the Hubs team disbanded.
Later, Lincoln University also manned a competitive team called the Jefferson City Eagles. In the 1950s,
the Mohawks and Eagles combined as the Dodgers to play in the new Central. Missouri Negro League.
Robinson gained notoriety for his left-handed pitching.
"1 learned to throw the curve by watching a crippled man in my hometown of New Londoa - something
was wrong with his hand and his thumb stuck straight up in the air," Robinson said.
He went home and modeled his style after the man, throwing in a walnut grove behind his home. "A big
smile broke across 'Lefty's' face as he paused, then, 'Why, that ball started out on one side of that tree,
curved all the way and came out on the other side of the tree."'
But he eventually had to team to throw the curveball the right way, as batters learned to anticipate the curve
ball when they saw his thumb up.
The 1921, Daily Capital News called him "one of the best colored pitchers in the country." He pitched his
first no -run, no -hit game in June 1929 at Linn, 21-0. By May 1930, the Post Tribune called Robinson
"ancient."
He was invited to pitch full time with the St Louis Stars, taking the job for one month in 1924. "But I quit
because I was making moremoney-working at the•Capitol,—Robinson said. Pmud.to be. a.Christian and .
holding to high morals, be said he didn't want to desert his family, either.
Robinson wasn't the only team standout As a whole, the Daily Capital News said the Mohawks were
"Missouri's fastest colored team in the semi-professional class." Centerfielder Bud Rankin had his share of
long drives from the plate. And shortstop Willie Smith was quite the slugger, too.
Lincoln University student Ralph Shropshire was catcher when not giving a "heavy hitting exhibition," and
he went on to be catcher for the St. Louis Stars in 1937.
They also played white teams, like the local Senators or Crevelts, or when competing in the State Semi -
Professional Tournament
Local ball games often featured live music before a game and in between innings. Robinson and his string
band or his Jubilee Singers performed at many of the white ball games.
By the 1930s, Robinson moved into a management role for the Mohawks, with his son Charles Jr., taking
over the pitching.
Robinson also was a leader in the community, presiding over meetings of the young Negro Republicans at
the Washington School and serving 15 years as president of the Jefferson City Community Center
Association.
'When the white community was debating a recreation center for boys, Robinson told them "no colored
youngsters have been in trouble since the center was established and urged that a similar progam be
instituted for white youth," the Post Tribune reported on Feb. 17, 1950.
He was active in the area Republican party, serving as.a delegate to the 1960 national convention. He was
the first black man in modern times to be listed on the city ballot, though he lost to the incumbent city
assessor in 1961.
Robinson was a charter member of the Jefferson City chapter of the NAACP, serving 27 years as chapter
treasurer. Gov. Christopher Bond proclaimed Nov 4,1975, as Charles E. "Lefty" Robinson Day at the 18th
annual Freedom Dinner.
He also volunteered 18 years with the Community Chest and with the Boy Scouts. And he organized the
fast day nursery for working moms.
He came to Jefferson City in 1912 to work in Gov. Arthur Hyde's administration, then was the fast black
employee for the state women's compensation commission. in 1922. He clerked for the food and drug
department and the Senate before working at Lincoln University in the 1950s, and retired as a funeral
director.
The city's JefTran headquarters at 820 E. Miller St is named for Robinson.

John "Duke" Diggs
Estella Branham / Diggs
A world -traveling missionary, musician, teacher and civil rights leader, Estella Diggs is a woman even 21st -
century women can aspire to be Ince.
In 1945 alone, she was matron of the Boone Chapter of the Eastern Stars, Young Women's Association at
Second Baptist Church supervisor, Women's Baptist Missionary convention corresponding secretary
emeritus, local Baptist missionary circle president, Jefferson City Community Center Association secretary
and the Missouri Baptist Convention interracial committee chairman.
The year before, she became the first Black woman to represent the 2nd Congressional District Republican
party as a presidential elector.
She was bom in 1872 to George and Fannie Branham. Her father left slavery in Callaway County to serve
in the 68th U.S. Colored Troops. Her mother was born into slavery in Boone County, running away at age
-..._14 .George.became a plasterer, and Fannie was.awell-known pastry_ cook
EsteUa's mother was a founding member of Second Baptist Church, where Estella polished her talents,
teaching Sunday school at age 13 and serving as church organist.
She was active in the Mlssouni Baptist Woman's Missionary Union and the World Baptist Alliance,
representing Second Baptist at national and international conventions throughout the 1930s and 1940s.
One of -the key roles she took on was improving interracial relations within the state Baptist convention.
Through the 1940s and 1950s, she was a committee officer and frequent speaker for conferences across the
state.
Locally, she organized theYWA Circle named in her honor, serving as president for13 years. And when the
church razed the parsonage in 1970 to build the present building at 501 Monroe St, she donated one of her
properties at 220 E. Ashley St to replace it
Estella Branham Diggs earned a bachelor's degree from Western Baptist Seminary, Kansas City, and taught
in Olean, MO before maaying Jefferson City entrepreneur John "Duke" Diggs in 1893. After his death, she
earned a master's degree in 1948.
They were a power couple, having no children but leaving a lasting legacy. Duke was active in local civic
issues, as well as advocating for African -American rights at the Capitol.
They were both leaders in the United Brothers of Friendship and the Sisters of the Mysterious 10, at one
time the largest Black fraternal organization in the state. They also were both active in Republican politics.
In 1944, the 2nd Congressional District Republicans met in Jefferson City to nominate delegates to the
RepublicanNational Convention in Chicago, Illinois, which nominated New York Gov. Thomas Dewey.
When no Black members were named to the initial delegation, a Bumceton representative protested. After a
15 -minute recess, a second vote made Estella Diggs the first African American woman to represent the
district.
She may be best remembered as the long tmne financial secretary of the Jefferson City Community Center
Association, formed by the Modern Priscilla Art and Charity Club, of which she was a founding member
The Modem Priscillas were founded in 1906 with the motto "life is too short to waste." During the
Depression, the club used a small building in The Foot on Dunklin Street to store and distribute
commodities. Looking next to provide hot lunches for school children, the community center idea was born
in 1935. The first center at Ihmklin and Linn streets primarily served as a day nursery for working mothers.
In 1942, Duke and Estella Diggs were instrumental in seeing the current Jefferson City Community Center
built, despite a halt on other construction due to World War 11 After collecting $1,000 from the Black
community, the center partnered with the Community Chest, a forerunner of the United Way, to make a
community -wide appeal to cover the rrrnnining costs. Afterward, the association officers, including Estella,
ran a "thank you" ad saying: "America is the only place in the world today where a minority can ask a
majority for aid and get what they ask. Democracy may- she live forever! We are very, very grateful" The
Jefferson City Community Center, also known as the Duke Diggs Community Center was added to the
National Register of Historic Places onMay 14,1992, and is located at 608 E. Dimklin Street
-Mrs:-Diggs was a member -of the city's -fist racial relations committee; organized in 1949; along with other - -
leaders of the day including Ruth Hardiman, Charles Robinson and Mrs. Julius Meyerhardt The committee
was replaced with the Commission onHuman Relations in 1952, retaining several members, including
Diggs.
"It may seem strange that Jefferson City has suddenly made a turn for better brotherhood, but the facts
show that this same turn is being made throughout the nation Americans have finally awakened to the fact
that one can't preach democracy abroad and not practice it at home," the Lincoln University Clarion
reported May 2, 1952.
Diggs embodied the Modem Priscillas' motto, promoting better civic relations, helping people on an
individual basis and championing her faith.

Tony Jenkins
Toney Jenkins of Jefferson City, Missouri, was killed in action during the Meuse -
Argonne Offensive of World War I. The "Harlem Hellfighter" became the only black
veteran from Cole County to die in the war and was laid to rest in the Jefferson City
National Cemetery. His name is listed on the WWI monument in front of the Cole County
Courthouse.
Jenkins was inducted into the U.S. Army on October 29, 1917. In the book "Scott's
Official History of the American Negro in the World War," the author notes that during
World War I, "about 367,710 of the nearly 400,000 black soldiers that served entered the
service because of the Selective Draft Law," as was the case with young Jenkins.
Black recruits were often separated into one of two combat divisions —the 92nd or the
93rd Division. Jenkins was attached to Company G, 365th Infantry Regiment of the 92nd
Division, which was formed at Camp Dodge, Iowa.
In December of 1917, he was transferred to Camp Funston, Kansas, where he remained
until departing for France in late March 1918 as a member of Company G, 369th Infantry
Regiment, which was formed from the 15th New York National Guard Infantry Regiment
and became part of the 93rd Division.
Early inthe war, General John J. Pershi.ng made the decision to loan the four regiments of
the 93rd Division to the French. Despite the institutional racism they faced within the
larger military structure, the division would go on to fight boldly on behalf of those who
did not recognize their value as citizens and soldiers.
Jenkins' regiment, the 369th, was the first to arrive in France and, following training with
the French forces, was integrated into France's Fourth Army and_soon began to prove
their mettle in combat operations, all the while wearing French uniforms and using
French weapons.
In an article by Jami Bryan appearing in "On Point," an Army Historical Foundation
publication, she notes that although the division experienced some early problems related
to the language barrier, their French counterparts treated the American soldiers as equals.
The division's list of military operations included several major battles along the Western
Front; however, after bitter fighting during the Meuse -Argonne Offensive, the division
earned the title of "Hellfighters" by their German foes (the title later morphed into
"Harlem Hellfighters" in recognition of the location from which many of the division's
recruits originated).
On September 28, 1918, during the carnage of the Meuse -Argonne Offensive, which
resulted in more than 26,000 American casualties, a 23 -year -old Tony Jenkins lost his life
from wounds received in combat. (The day following Jenkins' death, fellow Jefferson
City resident Roscoe Enloe was killed in action). News of the soldier's death was shared
in the December 16,1918 edition of the Jefferson City Post -Tribune, with the young
"Harlem Hellfighter" being laid to rest as an American soldier alongside hundreds of his
fellow veterans in the Jefferson City National Cemetery.
Years later, the Tony Jenkins Lodge No. 432 of the Elks was formed to honor the late
veteran (with the "e" removed from his first name) and on February 1, 1934, at the old
Community Building, 901 E. Dunklin Street, the Tony Jenkins American Legion Post was
formed with a charter group of 15 local veterans. Since that time, it has remained a
predominantly black post.
In a confidential cablegram sent to Washington, D.C., General Pershing lauds the black
soldiers of the 92nd and 93rd Divisions, beaming with pride over their "comparatively
high degree of training and efficiency," followed by remarks that would indicate their
sacrifices did not go unrecognized.
"(The) only regret expressed by colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous
work to do," wrote Pershing, adding, "I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown
among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and
eagerness for the most dangerous work."
Nearly 30 years after Jenkins' burial, President Truman desegregated the military through
Executive Order 9981, with the sacrifice and performance of the 93rd Division helping
inspire major changes in highest levels of U.S. leadership and delivering the beginning
stages of equality for which the soldiers of the division so valiantly fought.

NARRATIVE QUESTIONS
22. DISCUSS ANY NOTABLE ACCOMPUSHMENTS OR ACHIEVEMENTS FROM THE PAST YEAR.
The City of Jefferson's City Council adopted Ordinance 16270 which establishes a codified process for Historic Legacy
Districts. A Historic Legacy District is a geographical area of historical and cultural significance for which most of all of the
physical attributes (structures, streets, public areas, archaeology, etc.) relevant to the historical or cultural period of
significance no longer exist. The City of Jefferson is currently undergoing a historic preservation code re -write.
Owen & Eastlake, completed the Historic Context for the City of Jefferson. This document will guide future survey work and
National Register nominations. The City of Jefferson is carrying out the Historic Revitalization Grant Program.
23. DISCUSS ANY PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN THE PAST YEAR.
The City of Jefferson contracted with and hired David Taylor to carry out the W. Main Phase II Survey and the Resurvey of
the Historic East. Mr. Taylor failed to tum deliverables in on time, continuously made mistakes on survey forms and content
matter. For example, Mr. Taylor would put W. Main Survey information into the Historic East Resurvey. Mr. Taylor
continuously mixed up information. The amount of inconsistencies and inaccuracies resulted in the City of Jefferson pulling
the projects and ending them prematurely. The credibility of the final forms and reports would be extremely questionable. Mr.
Taylor's unreliable and poor deliverables have now pushed back the City's historic preservation efforts. The City of Jefferson
will have to redo and reapply for funding in order to hire a consultant to complete these surveys correctly and accurately.
24. DISCUSS ANY PLANNED ACTIVITY, PROJECTS, OR BUSINESS FOR THE UPCOMING FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR (Oct. 1 - Sept. 30).
The City of Jefferson intends to carry out the W. Main Phase II survey project and the Design Guidelines project for FY23.
The City will be carrying out and implementing the Historic Revitalization Grant Program which is funded through the National
Park Service's Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant Program. The City is also working on the National Register
nomination for the Missouri State Penitentiary.
