The Exodusters (Story Time with Mr. Beat)

The video discusses the Exoduster movement, the first voluntary mass migration of African-Americans in the U.S., led by Benjamin 'Pap' Singleton. Post-slavery, African-Americans faced severe challenges in the South, prompting Singleton to encourage migration to Kansas, seen as a land of opportunity. Despite hardships, many settled in Kansas, forming communities like Nicodemus. The movement, known as the Great Exodus, paved the way for future migrations and the establishment of African-American towns, leaving a lasting legacy.
