Back To Africa
9:43 AM
Other black Arkansans sought a more distant homeland overseas in Africa. In the 1880s and 1890s more Arkansans migrated to Liberia than from any other state. In 1891, the year of the Separate Coach Act and the Election Law, the American Colonization Society’s Arkansas applications for immigration to the African nation of Liberia peaked at more than 3,000 (out of a total African American population of 309,117 in 1890). According to historian Kenneth C. Barnes, of the 3,000 applications, approximately 600 black Arkansans emigrated—representing over one-third of black American immigrants to Africa between 1879 and 1899. Due to the high illiteracy rate of African Americans (55 per cent of Arkansas’s African American males in 1890 were illiterate), schoolteachers and preachers wrote many of the 3,000 applications for large groups. The 3,000 letters, therefore, represent a greater percentage of Arkansas’s 300,000+ African Americans. These migrations and desires to leave Arkansas are telling evidence of rural and urban unrest in the state’s black communities.

RACISM is unacceptable but the AFRIKKAN did not create it. If you cannot eradicate RACISM in AMERICA then go back to your father land.
