The St. Louis African American Community and the Exodusters

Beschreibung

In the aftermath of the Civil War, thousands of former slaves made their way from the South to the Kansas plains. Called â Exodustersâ , they were searching for their own promised land. Bryan Jack now tells the story of this American exodus as it played out in St. Louis, a key stop in the journey west.
