Title
African
American
activists
: the
pioneer
politicians
of
Nicodemus
,
Kansas
,
1877-1880
Degree Program
History
Abstract
This
thesis
correlates
the
major
issues
discussed
in the
1880
Senate
Report
#693
(the
Voorhees
Committee)
, an
investigation
into "The
Causes
of the
Removal
of the
Negro
from the
Southern
States
to the
Northern
States”
with the
extraordinary
effectiveness
of
black
politicians
in
Nicodemus
,
Kansas
. For the
first
time
in
United
States
history
,
enough
African
Americans
had
gathered
in a
locale--Graham
County
,
Kansas--to
affect
issues
of
crucial
ideological
and
financial
importance
to the
surrounding
whites
. The
1700
pages
of
testimony
presented
by the
Voorhees
Committee
Report
illustrated
the
complexity
of
post-Reconstruction
racial
tensions
on a
national
level
while
Nicodemus
depicted
a
microcosm
of
blacks
'
attempts
to
form
beneficial
alliances
with
whites
on a
local
level
. This
study
,
based
on the
Voorhees
Committee
testimony
and an
analysis
of
political
activity
in
Graham
County
as
reported
by
Kansas
newspapers
,
argues
that the
testimony
heard
by the
Voorhees
Committee
was a
harbinger
of
national
African
American
activism
.
Simultaneously
,
blacks
in
Nicodemus
proved
they
could
predominate
over
whites
regarding
issues
indigenous
to the
settlement
of the
West
