Free Did Not Mean Welcome

Presentation by: Carmaletta Williams

Millions of African Americans walked away from the South after Emanicipation looking for freedom. For some it meant a journey to Kansas, a "free state." Discover how many realized that for Black people in Kansas "Free" did not necessarily mean "Welcome."
