Black Hamlets in Horse Country

Where are all the black hamlets in the Bluegrass Basin?  See a map.
Where does the black population live in this part of Kentucky? The blacks in these hamlets are such a small percentage of the total population that they are not distinctive on the census-based black population map.

We will visit two black hamlets: New Zion and Jimtown.
