African American Migration to California
This lesson plan will allow students to connect to the stories and lives of people who made the choice or were forced to come to California. This lesson is designed as a supplement to foundational lessons about the westward migration during the 19th century. This lesson focuses on linking J.L. Edmonds and his Los Angeles Liberator newspaper with the colonization efforts of Colonel Allensworth and residents of Fresno County’s Boles (Fowler) African American community pictured in the Hutchinson Collection in connection to the recent exhibit at the California African American Museum, California Bound: Slavery on the New Frontier.
