A grant from the National Park Service is enabling the Center for Great Plains Studies to expand its Black Homesteaders in the Great Plains project, which created the first database of all identified Black homesteaders in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas. With a new iteration of funding, the team is extending its work to Oklahoma, with goals of producing a new report on Black homesteading in that state; distributing findings in academic journals and other publications; and producing digital content for the National Park Service-Homestead National Monument of America’s website featuring African American homesteaders’ experiences in the Great Plains. Jacobs is expanding the team to include scholars and consultants with expertise in Oklahoma.
