SUBJECT: FY 2022 HRDP Grant Agreement for Dubuque's Black Heritage Survey
DATE: July 12, 2021
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum transmits for City Council approval an FY 2022 $30,000 grant
agreement through the Historic Resources Development Program (HRDP) grant
program by the State Historical Society of Iowa (SHSI) under the Iowa Department of
Cultural Affairs (IDCA) for Dubuque's Black Heritage Survey. The grant program
requires the City to endorse the agreement.
The HRDP grant agreement and resolution are enclosed, along with the grant
application approved by City Council on April 19, 2021. The HRDP grant program is
state funding and the grant agreement is enclosed.
BACKGROUND
Identified in the City Council approved Historic Preservation Commission Workplan for
2021 is the Underrepresented People: African American Reconnaissance Survey, under
the Survey and Registration goal section. The name of the project has changed to
Dubuque's Black Heritage Survey to be more inclusive and better describe the project's
end product. Surveys and protection of historic properties are required as part of our
CLG participation and certification, and the State Historic Preservation Office was
supportive of our intentions during the application process.
The survey is a deep dive into Dubuque's Black Heritage. It is the discovery of places,
people and stories that both exist and have been lost over time. It allows us to braid the
history of Black Dubuquers into the history of all Dubuquers. Equity solutions require
over -investment where we have traditionally under -invested, and the same goes for
preservation efforts. This project seeks to tell a difficult story, but also seeks to tell the
story of Dubuquers and their families that were resilient and persevered.
As a Certified Local Government with the SHPO, the City is required to help to
preserve, conserve, interpret, enhance, and educate the public about Dubuque's
historical assets. This project helps fulfill those requirements.
This project helps meet goals and recommendations of:
• Dubuque City Council,
• 2037 Imagine Dubuque Comprehensive Plan, and the
• 2021 Equitable Poverty Reduction and Prevention Plan.
TIMELINE
The grant timeline runs through November of 2023, providing ample time for community
engagement and research.

Dubuque's Black Heritage Survey
WHEREAS, "HRDP" means Historical Resource Development Program as defined in Iowa Code Chapter 303.16,
and Iowa Administrative Code [223] Chapter 49.
WHEREAS, the Department, through its Director, is authorized to make and sign any contracts and agreements
and perform any acts which may be necessary, desirable, or proper to carry out the purposes of the and the
conditions of this Contract Department, and
WHEREAS, the Grantee, through its Authorized Official, is authorized to make and sign any contracts and
agreements and perform any acts which may be necessary, desirable or proper to carry out the conditions of
this Contract, has made application (the "Application") to the Department for funding of the project (the
"Project") described in the Application of cooperative endeavors as hereinafter set forth, the Department and
the Grantee hereby agree as follows:
Article 2. Statement of Purpose
The purpose of the Historical Resource Development Program is to provide grants to preserve, conserve,
interpret, educate the public about and enhance the historical resources of the state. The Department has been
designated by the Iowa General Assembly to administer REAP/HRDP, and the grantee has been approved for
funding.
Article 3. Contractual Requirements
Grant funds are to be expended according to Iowa Administrative Code [223] Chapter 49 and FY2022 grant
guidelines (version published February 2021). The Grantee must:
• Give preference to Iowans and Iowa products and services in carrying out this grant.
• Refrain from using REAP/HRDP funds to influence legislation or for any lobbying function.
Follow all local, state, and federal laws which bar discrimination against any employee, applicant for
employment, or any person participating in a sponsored program, on the basis of race, creed, color,
national origin, religion, sex, age, or physical or mental disability, and require compensation for
DocuSign Envelope ID: C2E2F985-20BA-49F7-A71 E-86E4C444100C
employment at no less than minimum wage requirements, and provide safe and sanitary working
conditions. These laws include, but are not limited to, Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
• Comply with applicable Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provisions. ADA is a civil rights law that
prohibits discrimination on the basis of physical or mental impairment (the definition of disability). The
project must comply with ADA, unless (1) the property is a religious entity, a private club or private
residence and not used as a place of public accommodation; (2) the property is an owner -occupied bed -
and -breakfast with five or fewer rooms; or (3) the repair work is something like reroofing, masonry
repointing, painting or wallpapering, or changes to mechanical and electrical systems that do not affect
the usability of the property. If you can make minor adjustments in your project that would eliminate
barriers in a way that meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and
Historic Preservation, you should do so. If your proposed work is an alteration that affects the "primary
function area" of your property, ADA accessibility standards also apply to the path from accessible
parking to and through an entrance. Building owners are not required to spend more than 20% of the
total cost of altering the primary function area to make the path of travel to that area accessible. (There
are also alternative requirements for those historic properties that cannot be made accessible without
threatening or destroying their significance. Contact the State Historical Society if you believe this is
your situation.)
Consult with the State Historical Society if your project involves any disturbance of the ground including,
but not limited to, moving in any large equipment or uprooting plants. After you have consulted with
the State Historical Society and the Society has given written permission for you to proceed, make sure
that any excavation work at your project is carefully observed by you or your contractors. If, during
construction, the project work uncovers an item or items which might be of archaeological, historical, or
architectural interest --or if important new archaeological, historical, or architectural data come to light
in the project area, you must stop work immediately and notify the State Historical Society. Make
reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize harm to the materials until the significance of the discovery can
be determined by a professionally -qualified archaeologist. Contact the State Historical Society with any
questions and for instructions.
• Include the following statement in any printed lists of contributors, and in any promotions, publicity, or
advertising:
"This project is supported in part by the State Historical Society of Iowa, Historical Resource
Development Program."
• Post signs provided by the State in a conspicuous place at the project area where grant funds are used.
The sign must remain in place for no less than 36 months after the contract has been completed.
• Write your state legislators within thirty (30) days of receiving your signed contract to tell them about
the project. Copies of the letters must be sent to Grants Manager, State Historical Society of Iowa, 600
East Locust Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50319-0290.
Financial Records
• Retain all financial records, reporting documents, and all other records pertinent to the HRDP program
for a period of three calendar years beyond the end of the grant contract.
DocuSign Envelope ID: C2E2F985-20BA-49F7-A71 E-86E4C444100C
• Provide, at no charge, and make accessible to the State and to the State Auditor's office, all books,
documents, account information, facilities, or other property belonging to or in use by the Grantee
concerning the receipt of funds under this program.
Copyright
• Choose to copyright any books, publications, films, or other material developed because of grant
activities, unless otherwise specified in the award notice or scope of work. The State reserves the right
to borrow or use, without payment of a royalty fee, any materials developed through grant projects.
Professional Standards
Comply with all applicable federal and state laws, regulations, guidelines, and technical standards,
including nationally accepted documentary collection and museum standards and the most current
edition of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic
Preservation.
• If your project includes work on real property that is listed on or eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places, you must include the following clause in all construction contracts and project
specifications:
"All work on this project will be done in accordance with the recommended practices as stated in the
most current edition of The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for
Rehabilitating Historic Buildings."
Scope of Work and Budget
• Follow the Scope of Work and Budget as presented in the Grant Application and as approved by the
State Historical Society of Iowa.
Damages
• Hold the State harmless from damages in any action arising from the performance of work described in
this contract.
Photographs
• Provide photographs of the work. Photographs must be taken at the beginning of the project, at various
stages during work, and at the project's conclusion to document the nature of the work. Good quality
photographs shall be uploaded to iowahistory.slideroom.com and submitted with the claim for
reimbursement. Along with the final report and request for reimbursement, the Grantee must provide
at least five (5) color photographs of the project from its beginning to its end.
Article 4. Finding of Non -Compliance
The State may, for cause, find that the Grantee is not in compliance with the requirements of the HRDP program
or the terms of this contract pursuant to Iowa Code 303.16, Iowa Administrative Code [223] Chapter 49, and
published grant guidelines. At the State's discretion, remedies for non-compliance include suspension or return
of HRDP grant funds.
Article 5. Cancellation Due to Non -Appropriation
If funds anticipated for the continued fulfillment of this contract are at any time cancelled or insufficient either
through the failure of the State of Iowa to appropriate funds, or through discontinuance or material alteration of

program alteration, the exclusive, sole, and complete remedy of the Grantee shall be payment for services
rendered prior to the termination.
Article 6. Payment
The State will issue a payment for fifty percent (50%) of the grant at the time of award. At the conclusion of the
project, the grantee must submit documentation of all project work and all expenditures to the State. Upon
approval of all project work and all documentation, the State will provide final payment of grant funds. The
grantee's request for reimbursement must be submitted with documentation proving project completion,
documentation of expenditure of grant funds, and documentation of cash and in -kind match, as outlined in the
contract budget. The final report provided by the Grantee must include photographs of work completed and an
explanation of how the work meets the standards established in the museum, historic preservation, or
documentary collections category. The final report must be submitted on-line at iowahistory.slideroom.com,
and must include all information and documentation as outlined on the form.
Article 7. Changes in Ownership

the completion of the grant, fifty (50) percent of the grant shall be returned to the State. If the Grantee is a

Dubuque is located on the Mississippi River in northeast Iowa, adjacent to Illinois and Wisconsin. As Iowa's
oldest city, Dubuque features a rich history, historical architecture, diverse arts and cultural amenities, and
abundant natural beauty, including majestic limestone bluffs along our beautiful riverfront. The city is over 30
square miles in area, with a population of 57,596.
Dubuque is strongly committed to historic preservation. A statement of commitment is attached and more can
be found at www.citvofdubuaue.org/historicpreservation. Dubuque is uniquely positioned to tell the story of
the earliest Black residents dating back to 1834 in the territory that would become Iowa.
The community has a stable and diversified manufacturing base and a growing service sector. Dubuque is
the major retail, medical, education and employment center for the surrounding tri-state region. Tourism
continues to be a major economic force in the community, with historic preservation being an economic
development tool. Dubuque has a high proportion and concentration of historic resources as compared with
other Iowa Cities.
Dubuque is governed by an elected Mayor and City Council and managed by a City Manager. The City funds
a full range of municipal services. City government works in collaboration with the private and non-profit
sectors to promote economic development and sustainability. The City's website is at www.citvofdubuoue.org.
The City Council goals and priorities are available online at www.citvofdubuque.org/councilgoals.

Dubuque's Black Heritage Survey is an in-depth investigation of the families, stories, places of interest,
history, policy, migration pattern, struggles and perseverance of African American and Black people who have
called Dubuque their home in the 19th & 20th Centuries. Dubuque is Iowa's oldest city and the Survey will
primarily focus from 1833 through 1980. The project uses the Iowa Civil Rights Multiple Property Document
Form as a model, and adds two critical components: a Genealogical Outreach arm to gather information
regarding Black Dubuquers over time, and the development of a Heritage Database to effectively collect,
archive and organize data discovered during the process, for ease of accessibility for future projects and
programs.

Grant funds will support the development of Dubuque's Black Heritage Survey, a focused attempt to discover
and tell a more complete history of Dubuque. This deep dive into Dubuque's Black Heritage —the discovery of
places, people and stories that both exist and have been lost over time —is a way we can braid the history of
some Dubuquers into the history of all Dubuquers.
The Black Heritage Survey project has three products under its umbrella. The first is a National Park Service
Multiple Property Document form (MPDF) - an in depth research report along with investigations of property
and places in Dubuque related to our Black history. The second is a strong Genealogy Outreach Component
(GOC) - different than survey projects we've undertaken before, to find family histories, scrapbooks, stories,
objects, documents and places that will help trace us through our Community's heritage. The third portion is a
Heritage Database (Database) of documents and objects, allowing us to prepare for future projects by
creating a professional archive of what we find. These three components work together to weave a practical
and rich tapestry that is our Black Heritage Survey.
A gap in our preservation work is that, following national standards, we have over time prioritized places of
high architectural value, places associated with already recognized business and community leaders, and
places where there is a concentration of architectural integrity. A self-fulfilling prophecy is that when we
identify important places to be preserved, those are the places we spend our efforts and resources, and
overlay protections like historic and conservation districts. Right now, our Black neighbors can feel
disconnected from Dubuque's history, because the story that has been told over time may not relate to them.
We believe if that if we continue to use the same tools and methods to tell Dubuque's story, we will continue
to achieve the same results.
Places like the Black settlement neighborhood that has existed between the 7th and 11th Street hills west of
Bluff Street for 170 years were not included in those protections afforded with local historic district listing. The
area was dotted with small and modest frame homes, businesses and community buildings, and was redlined
by banks in the 1930s, in contrast to the hill neighborhoods surrounding it. For a multitude of reasons it
suffered a lack of investment over time, disproportionate from most of the surrounding neighborhoods. The
school for 20 black children (1867) on the site where the Dubuque Museum of Art now stands and the African
Methodist Episcopal church along Robinson Avenue (1909) no longer exist. Nonetheless, these important
places are part of Dubuque's heritage. We need methods not just to convey what remains (our current
approach to historic preservation) but also uncover the history behind the neighborhood to create a new
enhanced approach to tell Dubuque's more complete story.
A different approach to a survey was needed for a number of reasons. We value the tools and standards we
have to survey neighborhoods and historic resources, but because we have lost both time and resources by
not weaving our Black History into Dubuque's History, we must work harder to recover it. Equity solutions
require over -investment where we have traditionally under -invested, and the same goes for preservation
efforts. This project seeks to tell a difficult story, but also one of Dubuquers and their families that were
resilient and persevered, in the face of adversity. Immigration and emigration came in waves, and continues.
The story is one of citizens trying to raise their families, worship, play and work in Dubuque. This is the story
of the American Dream. With this project, we seek to lean into the who, what, where, how and very
importantly, the why of this story. By doing this, we believe we can provide agency for our Black neighbors to
feel connection to Dubuque and its past, and to call Dubuque home. As well, we believe the effect on the
non -Black population can be powerful. This results of the Survey will have the ability to not just tell our
history, but inform policy and educate our upcoming generations.
Dubuque has a unique heritage, but the story lines we seek to discover are probably not unique to Dubuque.
National policies like redlining started in the 1930s directly affected the 8th Street settlement neighborhood
(see portfolio "Redlining Map c.1940" attachment) for decades. The Civil Rights Movement brought the Fair
Housing Act in 1968, but it didn't eliminate discrimination or the effects of targeted disinvestment in Dubuque.
Migration in the 19th and 20th centuries to Dubuque reflected larger patterns nationally. Census data for
Dubuque shows the Black population waxed and waned through Dubuque's history, influenced by both
national and local events. These are the kinds of stories we seek to include in the Survey to gain a better
understanding of Dubuque's heritage.
2. Provide an overview of the activities you will complete.
What will you do and how will it be done? Which professional standards will be followed to complete this
project? How will you apply the professional standards? How are these activities relevant to your mission?
Identify project partners and their responsibilities.
The Black Heritage Survey project has three products under its umbrella. The first is a NPS Multiple Property
Document form (MPDF) - an in depth research report along with investigations of remaining property in
Dubuque related to Black history. The second is a strong Genealogy Outreach Component (GOC) - different
than survey projects we've undertaken before, to find family histories, scrapbooks, stories, objects,
documents and places that will help trace us through our community's heritage. The third portion is a
Heritage Database (Database) of documents and objects, allowing us to prepare for future projects by
creating a professional archive of what we find. These three products comprise the first phase of this project,
informing and setting the stage for undertaking other projects to share Dubuque's fuller history with our
community.
The Survey develops the knowledge base and tools to move forward in the future. In Phase II, outside the
scope of this project, we seek to create an accessible, interactive online Finding Dubuque Atlas. GIS
Storymap like The Texas Freedom Colonies Atlas and the Little Rock Historic Sites viewer are replicable
models for us to look to. They are critical education and crowd -sourcing tools to collect data, research, and
stories and disseminate them their community heritage in an equitable, practical and accessible way. The
Database we create in Phase I will allow us to organize the data for inclusion in the Atlas in Phase II. The
Atlas, created in GIS, is a sustainable and supported platform. It can be used to create mobile apps to help
reveal history while exploring the community. Models include the Tulsa Greenwood District app which allows
visitors to experience and understand the vibrant Black Wall Street community that existed, as well as the
events of 1921 that destroyed and deeply wound that community. Other models continue to be developed
that we can learn from and utilize to help Dubuque tell its unique story in an interactive way that is accessible
to many
The consultant leading the MPDF will be guided and assisted by City staff as needed. The consultant leading
the GOC will be assisted by our Outreach Team with staff and Cultural Brokers to help build trust with
individuals and families, whether they live in Dubuque or left years ago, to help discover the stories and
places which may not reveal themselves with traditional research methods. The Database structure will be
led by project partners at the City, in consultation with the State of Iowa Library and shared with the
consultants to help populate. Project partners like the University of Dubuque African American Studies class
will help with research as directed to help add to the database, MPDF and provide leads for outreach.
The MPDF will follow National Register Criteria for Evaluation to create the form, documenting trends,
themes and patterns associated with Dubuque's Black Heritage throughout from at least 1834 through 1975.
It will be an in-depth look at everyday life in Dubuque- with research including family histories, business and
services, places of worship and schooling, migration trends, clubs, workplaces and events, as well as the
local impacts that national laws and issues had, like the Reconstruction, Jim Crow Laws, redlining and the
Civil Rights movement. The stories of the conditions, struggles and systems that Black Dubuquers
experienced, as well as finding stories to celebrate of individuals and families that were resilient and
persevered, are critical to creating the context for which we can tell the fuller story of Dubuque.
Unlike other survey projects, this project will have a strong community engagement component and require
ambassadors to help us seek stories of families, events, and places of importance to Black Dubuquers over
time.
Within the City of Dubuque:
* The Human Rights Department will help with engaging and supporting Cultural Brokers to provide trusted
outreach during the project. Additionally, the department has dedicated a portion of the cash match and staff
time to support the project.
* The City will work with its Arts & Culture Department, concurrently with this project, start to identify
opportunities for partnership and cultural expression to convey lost places with sculpture and art, as opposed
to just plaques.
Connected City partners include:
* The Multicultural Family Center which has offered assistance with community outreach, youth engagement
and reaching out to work with Dubuque Community School District with a goal working to develop curriculum
in the future.
* Our Carnegie Stout Public Library have offered space, research and outreach assistance.
Outside partner interest has been expressed by:
* Dubuque Heritage Works- helping specifically with the database and Atlas planning, outreach and
fundraisings for future projects.
* University of Dubuque- The African American Studies, led by Brian Halstoos, will assist with research and
oral histories, building on their existing AHEAD OF THE CURVE project.
* We have relationships set up with two Iowa -based Black heritage projects, sharing information and
methodologies. The first with with Genealogist Ricki King's 1850 documenting Black Iowans in 1850, and and
Lenore Metrick-Chen's (Drake University) collection/archive of black material culture. Our project, with theirs,
have the opportunity to uniquely share and grow from a triangle of collaboration- sharing information,
techniques and models. We are unaware of any other projects like this in Iowa. We would be forging a new
path that could be replicable by others.
This project comes on the heels of the State Historic Preservation Office finishing the Twentieth Century
African American Civil Rights -Related Related Resources MPDF form for the National Register of Historic
Places. This document is serving as a model for us as we move forward with discovering Dubuque's Black
Heritage.
3. How will the proposed activities assist the historical resource?
Explain why this project is needed. Is the resource threatened? How will this project help preserve,
conserve, interpret, enhance or educate the public about this resource? Why is this the right thing to do?
How will you measure if this project is successful?
The Black Heritage Survey for the first time investigates, documents and tells the story of the Black
experience and history of Dubuque, and identifies those structures important to our community's Black
Heritage. The MPDF and National Register nomination for individual properties will be our first attempt at
honoring and telling the stories of our Black Citizens through recognition of structures still standing. Our
community has been working to create places of honor by naming our Multicultural Family Center after Ruby
Sutton, a prominent civil rights activist, and our new airport terminal after the Tuskegee Airman and
Congressional Medal of Honor awardee Robert Martin. Many people do not know that the Martin Family
home remains, where Dr. Henry and Mrs. Mattie Martin raised their family, including at least 4 chiropodists
and honorable Capt. Robert Martin. Other places of importance are critical for us to uncover at this time, to
both engender pride and help protect them for the future.
Our preservation survey efforts in the past were typically driven by identifying areas with high architectural
integrity, or driven by a particular project (like the Bee Branch Creek Restoration). This approach did not lend
itself well to identifying and recognizing the modest 8th Street neighborhood that has been settled and served
as home to our Black residents for the past 170 years. This area just west of the downtown and Washington
Square is in Lorimer's Addition and housed the narrow street up against the 11th Street Bluff called Robinson
Avenue, where the African Methodist Episcopal Church stood, is nestled between Dubuque's majestic bluffs
filled with Victorian painted ladies and architect designed homes. Identification of buildings still standing
within the settlement, as well as the perimeter of the neighborhood and places of interest long gone, fill in the
gaps and begin to tell this part of our history.
Dubuque is Iowa's oldest City - it dates to 1833 with White settlement, and for millennia has been a place of
important to various indigenous peoples and tribes. The City of Dubuque has worked hard to survey, archive
and document its history. Dubuque has some of the oldest archives in Iowa, which will be an invaluable
resource for the consultant team: our Telegraph Herald dates to 1852, School Board records to 1856
(currently being digitized), Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps date to 1884, Census records to 1850, City Council
records to 1837, and we possess 74 scanned City Directories dating from 1856-1975 (the time period of our
project). Photographic and historic archives will be an invaluable resource for this project. Layering
genealogy into our research can uncover photos, scrapbooks, memorabilia, family trees, letters and oral
history. This will be a critical tool as we work to discover our Black heritage. Our focus to develop a 21 st
Century database that can be utilized for a multitude of media applications for future projects, making the
research applicable and accessible for Dubuque and beyond.
In 2019-2020, the City of Dubuque led the Four Mounds Protection Plan, which for the first time invited and
engaged leadership from this region's sovereign tribal nations in decision making around land that is
important to many people beyond Dubuque's borders. This was the first project identified in the City Council -
approved Historic Preservation Commission Workplan, in the Underrepresented People's section of the plan,
under the Survey and Registration category. The next prioritized goal in the updated 2021 Workplan is the
Black Heritage Survey. (It was renamed from "African American Reconnaissance Survey" in the plan to be
more inclusive and reflective of the project end products.) Although Dubuque needs to continue to update
and expand its phased survey work, the Black Heritage Survey rose above the others in priority because of
it's lack of focus and coverage in past survey work.
The project uses tools outlined in Dubuque's Racial Equity Toolkit to both change the focus of our work and
outreach to relevant populations, leaning on trusted partners to help outreach in the community. The project
helps to meet multiple recommendations in the Imagine Dubuque 2037 Comprehensive Plan, including those
under Preservation, Empowerment and Arts & Culture. The Equitable Poverty Reduction & Prevention Plan
(2021) identifies the need for understanding poverty, especially through the lens of race. The project will help
inform us with historical context about how our community developed and how Black residents experienced
poverty and lack of access to service and resources at a rate far greater than the White population.
Dubuque's new Office of Shared Prosperity, an initiative funded following the adoption of the Equitable
Poverty Reduction & Prevention Plan this year, will benefit from the research and products that come out of
the Black Heritage Survey.
The historical resource for this is project is Dubuque's Black Heritage, along with the buildings, structures and
places that will be identified as a result of the work. Without knowing our history, we cannot begin to present
and protect those places that are important. We seek to uncover stories and identify buildings that are intact
(that we can list on the National Register of Historic Places), discover the places that have been radically
changed over the years, and understand the 8th Street settlement neighborhood that has been home to
Black Dubuquers and others for 170 years. This process of discovery, remembrance, and recognition is
critical for all Dubuquers, not just our Black neighbors.
The Black Heritage Survey is our starting point, to help us better understand our community's history.
4.
How will the project impact the local community? Describe the public value of the proposed project
to Iowans.
Explain why this project has public value. Does the project address a need in the community or a goal for
your organization? What will be the impact on the local community and to the state of Iowa? How will you
share the completed project or provide public access to the resulting project activity? Will the resource and
project be shared beyond the project site, such as online? How will you sustain the project and public
access in the future? Explain why the proposed project merits investment from the State.
The Black Heritage Survey is a necessary project for Dubuque. From an equity standpoint, we need to make
the investment to understand how the history and heritage of Black Dubuquers shapes and is the history and
heritage of all of Dubuque. In order for our schools, institutions, residents, and City organization to
understand the dynamic of Dubuque today, we must know our complete history. Because we have
traditionally underinvested in this heritage with research, policy and protections, we must now work doubly
hard to discover the story and places that make Dubuque what it is today. Dubuque's Black Heritage Survey
is a model project and develops the framework (with the MPDF, the Outreach component, and the Database)
to take on more projects in the future.
The Outreach component is a critical tool for engaging citizens, former citizens, and their families in helping
us take the deep dive into our community's history. This component is different from any other survey, where
previously the City would hire a consultant and staff would assist them. This method is critical for gaining
information and follows the practice of "Nothing About Us Without Us". Our component team, which includes
our Multicultural Family Center, the Human Rights Department and our Cultural Brokers, the University of
Dubuque, and our genealogist, will reach out to already established community groups like Dubuque's
NAACP, the Black Men's Coalition, Switching Places Foundation, Black Lives Matter, Black places of
worship, and the Dream Center to engage and connect with citizens and families.
The Database is a critical foundation to build for accessible and exportable information to plan for the future.
It prepares us as we move outside the scope of this grant to create the Finding Dubuque Atlas. This has the
power to inform policy, educational curriculum in schools and planning for Dubuque's future. The Atlas,
modeled on the Texas Freedom Colonies Atlas and other atlases like the Little Rock Historic Sites viewer, is
infinitely expandable and supported with technology systems that are here for the long term. It will support
the addition of our existing historic surveys and future projects, for instance, like the telling of Jewish, Latinx
or Marshallese heritage. Our plan is that following the creation of the Black Heritage Survey, we utilize this
HRDP project work as a match to request a grant from the National Park Service Underrepresented
Communities Grant to support the Finding Dubuque Atlas.
Concurrently with this project we intend to work with our Arts & Culture Department, its commission, the
Dubuque Museum of Art, and the arts community to plan for creative ways to identify places of loss, where
we no longer have a building or physical manifestation of a site lost in history. There are many creative
examples of way other communities have done this and we can look nationally and internationally. For
instance, an installation could be made at the site of the school that served 20 Black children in 1867, since
replaced many times over with other buildings and now serves the Dubuque Museum of Art. A sculpture
could both engage citizens and educate them about the site. Mobile apps utilizing the Atlas, temporary
installations like images projected on buildings to show what once existed, and markers that provide identify
in the neighborhood are examples of the creative opportunities that further enhance traditional preservation
practices. They can help build context that helps to relay the community's rich heritage.
This kind of work cannot be done without first taking the deep dive into Dubuque's Black Heritage, with a
multi -prong approach to engage the community, identify and record our heritage, and build sustainable
systems (like the Database) that supports future projects. This is necessary for efficiently moving forward to
utilize 21st Century tools to build on and share Dubuque's rich heritage with all its residents.
The Black Heritage Survey is the starting point for us to learn from our history. It can inform policy, programs
and education in Dubuque. The MPDF will help identify and provide context for those places which can help
tell our Black history. We can tell the story of places like 560 Hill Street, the childhood home of Tuskegee
Airman Capt. Robert L. Martin. It's the same house where Robert's father, the chiropodist Dr. Henry Martin
with his wife Hattie, raised their nine children. Four of the children, including a daughter, also became
chiropodists. Dr. Martin was influenced by another Black Dubuquer, chiropodist and Civil War veteran, Dr.
Henry Rose. Dr. Rose took young Henry Martin under his wing and encouraged him to get out from being a
porter at a barbershop and become a doctor. These stories and their respective places are part of not just
Dubuque's Black history, but all of Dubuque's history. By researching and identifying those places which both
exist, and have been lost, we can start to weave a more complex tapestry of the heritage of Dubuque. Where
we've lost buildings, we'll work in Phase 11 to find creative ways to engage Dubuquers in all its heritage,
through the development of the Finding Dubuque Atlas, supporting mobile apps, plaques, installations and art
in our community.
This project uses the Dubuque Racial Equity Toolkit in both planning and implementation. The project will
help to meet multiple recommendations in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Imagine Dubuque 2037, under
Education & Empowerment and Arts & Culture. The project will help inform the community of racial inequities
and keep conversation flowing, following recommendations in Dubuque's Equitable Poverty Prevention &
Reduction Plan, in the "Racial Equity Index" and the "Keep Talking" sections. All three plans are prioritized by
Dubuque's City Council in their Policy and Management Agendas for 2020-2022.

The Consultant Team Contract pricing methodology is outlined in the attached Letter of Professional
Involvement/Commitment. This is supported through the requested HRDP Grant at $30,000 and $7,000 in
cash match from the City of Dubuque.
The Cultural Ambassador Support is estimated at $1,000, equitably paying approximately four community
members at a rate of $20/hour for about 12 hours of their time (estimate of 48 hours in total). This is an
estimate and may vary depending on need and participation. This line item may also be used for family
support like child care in order to allow for the person to participate in a focused way. This is supported with a
cash match from the City of Dubuque.
The $1,008 in material and other expense is intended to support larger amounts of printing of the final report
to Community partners as we educate the Community about the value of the report and possibilities for
building upon it with future projects. This line item may have some miscellaneous costs associated with
workshop supplies. This is supported from a cash match from the City of Dubuque.
City Personnel project support and leadership costs are conservatively estimated as follows:
* Planning Services Manager - Project Assistance & Oversight - 25 hrs at $56/hr
* Assistant Planner - Project Manager - 90 hrs at $43/hr
* Human Rights Staff - Outreach - 24 hrs at $38/hr
Volunteer costs are only shown for University of Dubuque's partnership in one year, but we anticipate many
more individuals participating and assisting, based on the community response thus far:
* LID Students - 12 students at about 15 hrs each at $7.25/hr
* LID Professor Leadership - 35 hrs at $43/hr
