In this episode of Roots of Resistance: Radical Kansas , we explore the incredible community building of Nicodemus, the first all-Black settlement on the Great Plains. Founded in 1877, Nicodemus was built by formerly enslaved families seeking freedom and self-determination, overcoming systemic barriers, economic hardship, and racial exclusion to carve out a thriving community. We examine the Exoduster movement, the role of the Homestead Act, the challenges settlers faced, and the community resilience that kept Nicodemus alive.
