Exodusters: The Road to Kansas

(SAE) In 1879, thousands of African American families leave the post‑Reconstruction South, seeking dignity, safety, and the chance to build new lives in Kansas. They were given the name "Exodusters." You are part of this historic movement — not as a victim, but as a determined parent, leader, farmer, minister, or young dreamer. Your choices shape your community’s future as you travel toward the “Promised Land.” This is a story of courage, hope, and self‑determination.
