Steve Flairty, author of a book series entitled "Kentucky's Everyday Heroes: Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things", has asked to use the photos from the HMdb historical marker "James Morrison Heady"  (KHS marker #2148) located in Elk Creek (Spencer County). 

James Morrison Heady was one of the first advocates for books for the blind in the United States and he invented several devices to facilitate communication and improve quality of life for deaf and blind people.

An author has written a combination history and travel book on the Civil Rights era specifically and African America history generally.  It will be self-published and hopefully be out in early 2022.
