The Exoduster movement, as it was slowed in Kansas, pivoted to Oklahoma. Ida B Wells promoted it. Has anyone done a history connecting the 2 movements? @HomesteadNHP @kbfa_kansas

Victoria Celestine was an #OKBlackHomesteader near Luther. She & other families, incl. widow Phoebe Magloire/McGlory fled Avoyelles Parish, LA in 1892 after Gabriel Magloire was lynched. They brought a church bell from LA & started St. Luke Baptist. It was vandalized in 1909.
