- the heritage listing of the ‘Little Black Boy’ in Maitland’s High Street
- the subjective opinion piece by Kevin Short and Chas Keys at the Maitland: Our Place, Our Stories blog titled Jocko Graves: Maitland’s ‘Little Black Boy’
These are my initial thoughts on the scope of the book with relevant knowledge areas.
- Essential methodological tools for historical research and evaluation
- Context of lawn jockeys in the USA
- Context of Maitland as a regional community
- The myth of Jocko Graves
- History of the statue
- History of the efforts to heritage list the statue
- Value of the statue - Perspective from Maitland’s multicultural groups
