Davis attended public schools in Willard, Ohio and in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. After completing Capitol High School, he attended Southern University where he became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Beta Sigma Chapter. He is a Life Member with the Fraternity and celebrated on March 31, 2012 50 years as an Alpha man. After receiving a B.S. degree from Southern University, he served as an Ordnance Corps commission officer in the U.S. Army at various post around the world. He received his JD Law degree and earned his private pilot license during that time. After his military career, he received an MBA degree from Louisiana State University with an Internal Auditing specialty. Brother Davis did further studies to earn his NY State Certifications as a Mathematics teacher and as a School and District Administrator. He is currently an adjunct instructor of mathematics at both Bryant and Stratton College (Buffalo Campus) and Trocaire College. Brother Davis has taught Mathematics, full time or as a substitute, in public schools, including the Buffalo School District, Central School Districts of Orchard Park, Hamburg, West Seneca, and Amherst. Brother Davis is very involved in the community of Western New York. He is on the board of the Family Help Center and served on Board of the Buffalo Urban League for seven years (five as the Treasurer). In Boy Scouts, he serves as an Assistant Council Commissioner, the District Commissioner, Buffalo District, and the Unit Commissioner for units of the Buffalo District and the Red Jacket District. He has been awarded the District Order of Merit, the Commissioner of the Year, and the Silver Beaver while serving within the Greater Niagara Frontier Council of the Boy Scouts of America. He also serves his Fraternity as the Eastern Region Boy Scouts of America Coordinator, as the Area Director, Area 1, NYACOA/District III, and as a Chapter President, VP, Treasure and an Alpha Advisor. Brother Davis is also a Life member of the National Black MBA Association and has served since 2000 as a Hospitality Ambassador at the Buffalo/Niagara Frontier International Airport. Brother Davis is a very active member of St. Bernadette R.C. Church and sings tenor with his church and a Community Chorale. He has had the honor of having an award named after him (the Felton Davis Award of Merit) by the New York Association of Chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. in 2011. Felton L. Davis was born in Willard, Ohio. He was an adorable little baby boy. He was raised by his mother Bea Davis and his aunt, Mrs. Margaret Davidson. Although he only had a mother figure in the household, he still had male role models. While growing up he had uncles, school principals, Sunday school teachers, scout masters and many more men who were all good examples in his life. During his childhood years he was introduced to the Boy Scouts who taught him many traits he uses today like citizenship, self confidence and courage. He also earned his Eagle Scout's badge. One of the challenges of his childhood was that he moved several times. He had to learn how to make friends and adapt to his surrounding in each of the three different states in which he lived during grades K-12. However, Mr. Davis always loved school. Reading was one of the things that helped him throughout his life. He went on to college at Southern University, and then transferred into the military. He served 20 years in the military and was a Major when he left active duty. He loved to do this and said he would do it even if it was a non-paying position. In the military he studied to attain his Masters in Business from Louisiana State University. In addition to his degrees, he has received numerous certificates in many things. For example he is a certified teacher, principal and pilot. Mr. Davis is very involved with the Buffalo community. He has been a substitute teacher at many schools including Amherst High School. He is also a district commissioner in the Niagara Frontier Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Felton Davis is part of many organizations like the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), the National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA), the National Council of Teachers of Math (NCTM), and the NAACP, just to name a few. Mr. Davis is also the Chapter President of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. His work does not stop there; he also is very involved with his church. Mr. Davis loves volunteering at the airport, helping with customer service, and he sells newspapers for Kids's Day, and helps raise funds for the March of Dimes. In spite of all of his work, many people would say that he is a very modest man. Felton Davis believes that since the role models he looked up to helped him along the way, he should assist people who need support. This is why I believe that Felton L. Davis deserves to be an "uncrowned king" of Western New York. Subject The topic of the resource African Americans--New York (State)--Buffalo Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.

They have been taken from books written in various European scriptoria by Benedictine, Franciscan, Carthusian, Dominican, and other orders of monks. Many are enriched with handsome borders, initial letters, and line-endings rendered in color, and twenty-give are illuminated with burnished gold or silver. The texts include the Bible, various church service books, the writings of the Church Fathers, and some of the classics. <br /><br />Changes in book hands from the revived carolingian to the angular and round gothic, the batarde, and humanistic style of writing are illustrated. Tools, materials, and their use and preparation are described, and some methods of dating and allocating the provenance of the book from which the leaf was taken are pointed out on the label attached to each of the leaves.<br /><br />The leaves were accumulated and selected and all of the accompanying information was prepared by the late Otto F. Ege, Dean of the Cleveland Institute of Art and Lecturer on History of the Book at the School of Library Science, Western Reserve University."--from title page caption. <br /><br /><em>Buffalo &amp; Erie County Public Library Rare Book Room owns copy no. 11 of 40 numbered sets; gift of Mr. &amp; Mrs. Franz T.

Title A name given to the resource "We the People" Community Quilt Project Description An account of the resource Quilts embody a history of reuse and resourcefulness, of community relationships and care.

With its proximity to the vital resource of the Great Lakes, the region we call Western New York has long been home to vibrant and diverse communities, both before and after the pivotal events of this country’s founding. This quilt project aimed to visually reflect the unique cultural and familial histories of communities in this region throughout its history. Residents of Western New York were invited to make and submit a 9 inch by 9 inch fabric square (sewn or constructed using glue) responding to the question “Who are ‘we the people?’” A quilt of these unique fabric squares was be sewn together in August 2026.

Title A name given to the resource Flight From Poland Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Newberg, Rich Description An account of the resource When martial law was imposed on the people of Poland on December 13, 1981, a vicious crackdown began against forces seeing freedom from communism. Members of the anti-communist trade union Solidarity became main targets of the military junta which seized power. Thousands were thrown in prison without trials. Western New York students studying in Poland managed to flee the country and make it safely back to Buffalo. They had many stories to tell about the abuses imposed on Polish citizens as well as an economic crisis that put Poland on the brink of bankruptcy. Buffalo, with its large Polish population, became one of the lead protest cities in the United States. They demanded that the Soviet Union loosen its grasp on Poland and allow the Polish people to choose their own destiny. President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II are often credited with helping to bring down communism in Poland. "Flight from Poland," a WIVB-TV news special hosted and co-produced by Rich Newberg, gave Buffalo viewers a comprehensive look inside Poland during this period of great turmoil. Newberg got first hand accounts from refugees and students in Buffalo who had witnessed the abuses in their homeland. In 1985, Newberg would report from Gdansk, the birthplace of Solidarity, as club wielding Zomos (paramilitary units) again arrested Solidarity demonstrators. Newberg and photojournalist Don Yearke met with Solidarity leader Lech Walesa and then with Pope John Paul II in Rome. (See "Hearts and Minds Together" and "Inside a Private Audience with Pope John Paul II.") In 1999, Newberg would again travel to Poland, this time with photojournalist Mike Mombrea, Jr., to cover Pope John Paul II's triumphant return to his homeland, now free from communist rule. The pope made a special effort to meet with a Buffalo delegation on a street in Torun, Poland. He blessed every member, showing his gratitude toward the city, whose Polish Americans never wavered in their support for a free Poland. Newberg also interviewed Lech Walesa after he had served as president of Poland. (See "The People's Pope.") Staff involved include Karen Sacks (Producer, Writer), Mike Mombrea, Jr. (Photographer, editor), (Contributing Photographers: Joe Ader, Bill Cantwell, Don Yearke, Luis Hidalgo, Curt Louison, Jay Lauder, Micki Sellers, Mike Mombrea, Sr.), Bob Koop (Polish National Anthem Narrator), Joe Kirik (News Director), Bill Tower (Director), (Technicians: Keith Jones, Hal Case, Al Barbour, Russ Barone, Herb Steffen, Stan Nowak, Dom Zigrossi).

Say Their Names: Honor Their Legacies Description An account of the resource Florence Hargrave Curtis, a native of Buffalo, is the daughter of the late Ashley S. and Annie Whitehead Hargrave. She began her education in the Buffalo Public Schools. She has an Associate's degree in Applied Sciences and Nursing from Erie Community College ; a Bachelor of Science degree in Community and Human Services with a concentration in Studies in Chemical Dependence; and a Master of Arts degree in Culture and Policy Studies. She is the mother of one daughter, Dawn C. Roberts, and the grandmother of three, Alvin, Alicia, and John Roberts. Florence's fascination with her second great-grandmother, Landonia Epps, led to her most unprecedented scholarly achievement, Daughter Be Somebody - a book that traces her family's history from 1740 through 1997. It is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the determination of two families to break the shackles of slavery and overcome its legacy through knowledge and education. It is a powerful and dramatic source of genealogical information that warms the heart, brings tears to ones eyes, but most of all it takes the reader on a magnificent journey into yesterday. For Ms. Curtis, there is nothing about which she is more passionate than African American history. For this reason, she has written five other books. Three of these books are tools for the researcher to make their search a little easier and help knock down the brick wall that every historian confronts in his or her search. The other two, He Heard My Cry and Everlasting Memories are books of original inspirational poetry. Ms. Curtis has searched her maternal lineage back to 1066 AD and her paternal ancestry back to 1634 AD. For her, the search never ends for there are always new roads to explore and new visions of old materials to document. In addition to Daughter Be Somebody, she has written He Heard My Cry; Landonia Epps, a Paper Trail of Her Times and Travels; Halifax Country, North Carolina Coroner's Inquests 1841-1891; Everlasting Memories; and In the Footsteps of Our Forefathers, the Churches Where They Worshipped, the Graves In Which They Slumber. Her books have found a home at the Schomburg Center for research in Black Culture; Duke University's John Hope Franklin Research Center for African and African American Documentation; Virginia State University; Saint Paul's College, Lawrenceville, Virginia; Halifax County, North Carolina Library; as well as other educational venues. Ms. Curtis has spoken at numerous universities and for many genealogical societies on the importance and value of family research. She notes, "I have searched the pages of the past for a glimpse into yesterday, to make sense of today, and to find meaning in tomorrow." Description from Uncrowned Community Builders.

Title A name given to the resource "We the People" Community Quilt Project Description An account of the resource Quilts embody a history of reuse and resourcefulness, of community relationships and care. They also invite collaboration, combining individual perspectives, skills, and stories into a diverse whole. This project was part of activities happening across Erie County throughout 2026 to celebrate 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. With its proximity to the vital resource of the Great Lakes, the region we call Western New York has long been home to vibrant and diverse communities, both before and after the pivotal events of this country’s founding.

Residents of Western New York were invited to make and submit a 9 inch by 9 inch fabric square (sewn or constructed using glue) responding to the question “Who are ‘we the people?’” A quilt of these unique fabric squares was be sewn together in August 2026.
