Brent mentions in a recent post the Loudoun County Emancipation 
Association. An excellent history of that organization written by Elaine 
Thompson entitled_In the Watchfires: The Loudoun County Emancipation 
Association, 1890-1971_ can be obtained from the Friends of the Thomas 
Balch Library in Leesburg, VA. (see their website). It was a remarkable 
organization--it obtained its own festival grounds and had yearly 
activities which featured black military parades (US. cavalry troops). 
All during the heyday of the Lost Cause crusade--contrasting sets of 
memory, indeed.
