Blacks help settle N. Dakota
continued from page 9A
they knew of any African-
Americans who had lived in
town is the past. He found a
surprising number, he said.
Sherman said he was
impressed by the confidence
and the upper mobility shown
by the many of the blacks who
came to North Dakota from
the 1880s to the 1920, the key
period he studied. One cause
may have been the nature of
most of the immigration to
North Dakota at that time, he
said.
“In North Dakota, the ordi
nary black often found out he
' was the only American
around. He spoke English, he
fought in the Civil War. These
other people couldn't speak
English without butchering it,
so why should he take any
backtalk from anyone?"
And like all frontiers. North
Dakota attracted people who
were determined and able in
the first place, Sherman said.
Like most early settlers,
most blacks left by the 1930s.
Only one African-American
farm family still is here.
Elizabeth Cureton and
Robert E. Wylie were married
July 6 at Middle Street AME
Zion Church. The bride, the
daughter of Sarah Miller is
