Abstract
the University of Michigan, all of whom helped to clarify the twists and turns of denominational records.In addition, I received invaluable assistance from staff at the Archives of Ontario; the Chatham Kent Public Library; the Ontario Genealogical Society (Kent Branch); the Verschoyle Phillip Cronyn Memorial Archives of the Diocese of Huron; the Historical Society of Pennsylvania; the Knox County Public Library, Vincennes; Oberlin College Archives; the University of Saskatchewan Library, and the Archives and Special Collections at The University of Western Ontario.When I turned to local research for the project in the summer of 1999, Gwendolyn Robinson of the Chatham Kent Black Historical Society kindly introduced me to Mr. Glen Ladd of the Prince Albert Baptist Church.Mr. Ladd transformed his living room into a research library and produced the earliest record books of the Second Union Baptist Church, Chatham Township (later Prince Albert Baptist Church), along with genealogical fi les and other materials including his own recollections of Jennie Johnson.Mr. Ladd has since passed away, but I remain in his debt for sharing documents that would never have come to light without his help, and for the welcome he extended to our family in a worship service at Jennie Johnson's church.The Reverend Dale Bowman of Flushing, Michigan, generously provided detail and insight that I would never have known otherwise, regarding Johnson's friendship with George and Clara Vercoe of Flint's North Baptist Church.A Mark Gillette research fellowship at the Bentley Historical Library and a term as a visiting scholar at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan both provided invaluable support, as did colleagues and students in Women's Studies and in the Department of History at the University of Windsor.Alison Templer provided research assistance at an early stage in the project.Since then, colleagues past and present at the Huron University College, students in History 3311F and 3313G, and friends in Huron's Faculty of Theology have been unfailingly generous in their encouragement and comments on the work.Although the research and writing of this book predated the Promised Land Project (a Community Univer-

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
