Nicodemus by Charlotte Hinger
As the first well-known all-black community on the plains, Nicodemus, Kansas, became an exemplar of black self-improvement. But it also embodied many of the problems facing African Americans during this time. Diverging philosophies, Charlotte Hinger argues, foretold the differences that continue to divide black politicians and intellectuals today.-

Rich in detail and carefully researched, Charlotte Hinger's fine study illuminates the growth, development, and maturation of Nicodemus, Kansas, the most successful black town established during the 'Kansas Exodus' Nicodemus also reveals the paradoxical race relations that African Americans experienced, the voices of ordinary people, the role that American Indians played in assisting the earliest black settlers, and their quest for full equality and civil rights. Historians of western and African American history will welcome and embrace this book."" - Albert S. Broussard, author of Expectations of Equality: A History of Black Westerners
""In this unprecedented full-length scholarly study of Nicodemus, Charlotte Hinger shows that the experiences of obtaining land, recruiting residents, building communities, protecting economic and political interests, grappling with the moral headache of helping refugees - all on the harsh, lonely prairies of western Kansas - drew African Americans into the same divergent patterns of racial uplift, social justice, and radicalism with which they would contend in the century and a half that followed."" - James N. Leiker, author of Racial Borders: Black Soldiers along the Rio Grande
