Defining Black Wichita: New Horizons, 1970s - Today

10:00 AM, October 15, 2024 | The Kansas African American Museum

This exhibit is the third part of the Defining Black Wichita series and focuses on African Americans in Wichita from the 1970s to today. Empowerment from the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s created space for African Americans to fill in government, business, education, arts and culture, and athletics. As a result of this, the 1970s became a time of transition and opportunity. African Americans crossed the color-line at Hillside Street that once restricted where people of color could live and moved into neighborhoods that were previously closed to them, beginning a period of exploration of new spaces and new horizons.
