Program Description
Event Details
Millions of African Americans walked away from the South after Emancipation looking for freedom. For some it meant a journey to Kansas, believing “free state” meant free of racial discrimination. Discover how many realized that for Black people in Kansas “free” did not necessarily mean “welcome.”
Carmaletta Williams Ph.D, the Chief Executive Officer of the Black American Archives of Mid-America shares the experiences of African Americans seeking refuge in Kansas.
