Abstract
The "All-Black towns" of oklahoma represent a unique segment of American history. Neither in the deep south nor the far west did so many african americans come together to create and govern their own communities. Between 1865 and 1920, african americans had established over 50 towns in the area, a good portion of which still exist today. They settled here in large numbers to escape many of the harsh prejudices found in other areas such as the Deep South, and in these communities they could rely on each other for financial assistance and friendship. However, white resentment of the black race soon began to impact these towns, and thus we get migrations of african americans to western Canada, Mexico, and even "Back to Africa" movements.
