Book cover for “Enrolling as Cherokee Freedmen.”IOPN is excited to announce the publication of Enrolling as Cherokee Freedmen: Social Networks of Rejected Applicants by Hai In Jo. This publication began with researching archival materials in the Cherokee Freedman Collection at Texas A&M’s Cushing Memorial Library and Archives, and grew into a project that sought to examine and highlight the racial marginalization of Black residents in the Cherokee census rolls.
