enjamin "pap" singleton
An African American who moved to Kansas in the 1860s was likely part of the broader migration known as the "Exoduster Movement." This movement involved formerly enslaved individuals seeking better opportunities and freedom in the West after the Civil War. Kansas was seen as a land of promise, where they could establish communities and escape the oppressive conditions of the South. Many settled in towns like Nicodemus, which became a symbol of Black self-determination during that era.
No, he is Latino. His wife, however, is Black.
There was one after the civil war when 60,000 blacks migrated west looking for opportunity in Kansas and Oklahoma. There was another one between 1940 and 1970 when millions of southern blacks migrated north to industrial cities like Chicago and Detroit looking for work.
The Kansas Fever exodus took place in 1879. (see related link below for more information).
Benjamin "Pap" Singleton was a former slave who founded settlements for newly freed slaves in Kansas. Later he was prominent in the Back-To-Africa movement.
