Kentucky to Kansas Connections Oral History Project
Project Summary
This is a collection of interviews with descendants of Kentucky African and Americans who were instrumental in the settlement of Nicodemus, Kansas, the only remaining African American western town established after the American Civil War. The collection also includes an Indigenous American migration story. These oral histories also explore feminist histories and more specifically migration histories and connections between Kentucky and Kansas communities. The oral histories illustrate the complexity of intersectional identity in the Heartland communities.Project Code
