Allensworth Makes the List

The African American settlements of Allensworth, California and Nicodemus, Kansas are two of the sites on the USA Today list of “15 black history sites you don't know.”  
The homes of W.E.B. Du Bois, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Maggie L. Walker made the list as well as African American Museums in Detroit, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. 




The list of sites also includes the less celebratory; an antebellum plantation, and a Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia.

Compiled by Molly Vorwerck and published on February 13th, the list has the hours of operation, phone number, and website for each site.
