Blacks -- African-Americans -- Migration
A COLORED EXODUS. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 15.- One hun- dred colored men, women, and children passed through the city to-day en route fro South Carolina to Arkansas, where they intend to set- tle. They stated that the poor crops and high rents caused them to change their location, and that hundreds of others are making prepara- tions to leave next Spring for points in the Western and Southwestern States. They have made no arrangements fo employment, and evi- dently believe that work may be had for the asking. Some of the party thought their des- tination was Kansas, not knowing the difference between the States. - Metadata URL:
