Also included in the collection is an important cane from the collection of Robert Reed Church, the first African-American millionaire in the South. Born a slave in 1839 in Mississippi, his mother a slave named Emmeline and his father a white steamboat captain from Virginia named Charles Baker Church. Church went on to open a saloon in Memphis during the Civil War and by the late 1870s had acquired a vast amount of real estate. Using his acquired wealth, Church sought to help improve the lives of the African-American community in Memphis, establishing public parks and facilities open to the use of African-Americans in the segregated South. In 1906 he co-founded Solvent Savings Bank, the first African-American bank in Memphis. In 1984, more than a half century after his death, the Memphis Chamber of Commerce honored Robert Reed Church by naming him one of Memphis’ pioneer businessmen.
