Doretha K. Williams of the University of Kansas will discuss the early 20th-century migration of many African-Americans from the south into Kansas.
Northern cities saw their populations explode as blacks sought better jobs, better schools, and racial tolerance, if not equality. For some, Kansas was as likely a destination as Chicago. Using oral histories, family photos, and memorabilia, this presentation examines one family’s journey to Topeka as part of the nation’s Great Migration.
Ms. Williams is a recipient of the Mellon Mays University Fellows Dissertation Grant from the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation for 2008-2009.
This special program is a part of the Kansas Reads…Dreams from my Father by Barack Obama, a statewide reading initiative brought to you by the State Library’s Kansas Center for the Book and funded through a grant from the Kansas Humanities Council.
