Pool Halls and Employees, Kentucky

This entry is a first step toward the history of African Americans in and from Kentucky who earned a living as owners and employees of pool hall establishments. In Kentucky, between the late 1800s and the late 1950s, African American men were employed in pool halls, but only a few were proprietors. During the early decades of the 20th Century, Louisville had the most African American owners of pool halls in the state, followed by Paducah and some of the smaller cities and rural communities around the state.

Some of the businesses existed for a decade or more, passing from one owner to another. The pool hall business was very much a man's business, and the clientele were men. The pool halls were also segregated, though regardless of race they were all pretty much viewed as shady places of gaming, gambling, and drinking.

Other names for the establishments were "pool rooms" and "pool parlors." Articles and books that mention the early pool halls tend to report them being in the less affluent areas of a town or city that has an atmosphere of crime. It is not always clear what distinguishes a pool hall from a saloon with pool tables. The finer side of the term "pool hall" is "billiard room," often presented as a more civil space found within hotels and gentlemen's clubs [source: Encyclopedia of Street Crime in America, by J. I. Ross].

In the billiard rooms, African American men were sometimes hired as porters. They were also hired as porters in pool halls. The research has not been fully explored looking at African Americans and pool halls as viable employment options, and the drawing power of pool halls as male spaces. Listed below are the locations of some of the earliest known pool halls in Kentucky that were owned by African Americans. Also included are the names of African Americans in and from Kentucky who earned their livelihoods as pool hall employees.
