Unseen Pioneers (Read More)

This program takes a look at black American influences in the early west, and at the movement of freed blacks after the civil war as they move into and settle in the west. We will look at black settlements in the plains and the causes for their ultimate demise. This program is not a broad history of black settlers and settlements, rather, a quick sketch of who was here, where they came from and what happened to them. Presented by Jerry Lucas
