Dear Mr West.
I was glad to have the opportunity to speak with you during the conference at
Tennessee State University in February and to learn of your interest in the school and/ or
church in the Needmore community. I have spoken with members of the Wilson County
Black History Committee regarding their continued interest in this project. A
representative will be in touch with you soon for further discussion of this matter
I certainly agree with your assessment that the Needmore community has much that
IS of htstoncal value and the entire commuruty faces an uncertam future as it is a pnme
location for future development. I hope the church members and other community leaders
will concur after all they are the ones who must decide the designation is important.
Thank you for your assistance with the two other sites in Wilson County; Rest Hill
Cemetery and The Bailey Graveyard; which are very important to me in that I have family
buried at both sites. The Wilson County History Committee would like to launch a
cemetery project that would mclude an inventory of all cemeteries in the county that have
been predominately A:fncan-Amencan to include the many family cemetenes that are
known only to a few remairung relatives. Hopefully, we can get this project underway
withm the year
I would like to again thank you and I hope we have the opporturuty to work
together in the future.
Sincerely ,
