A lost chapter of African American history, rediscovered.
From census records to community memories, Locksley: The Original Black Families of Folsom, Pennsylvania, traces the story of African American families who built lives, homes, and legacies in Ridley Township from the 1850s through the 1970s.
For more than a century, generations of families - Adams, Crawley, Frame, Garrison, Perry, Rice, and many others - transformed farmland into a community. They endured discrimination, housing restrictions, and redlining, yet cultivated resilience, cultural pride, and a powerful sense of belonging.
Blending genealogy, local history, and memoirs, Wayne Karl Driver explores how everyday families navigated significant national shifts: the Civil War, the Great Migration, the Depression, World Wars, and the Civil Rights era. Alongside these historical narratives are reflections on the meaning of community and lessons for readers today.
Whether you are a genealogist, a student of African American history, or simply someone who believes in the power of community, Locksley offers an inspiring window into the past.
