概要

Nicodemus: The Black Town That Refused to Die tells the story of a town built by Black settlers at the end of Reconstruction — a place founded in 1877 by people chasing land, safety, and self-rule on the Kansas plains. Today, Nicodemus is recognized by the National Park Service as the oldest remaining Black settlement west of the Mississippi River.

In this episode of That Doesn’t Make Sense, Michael Porter traces the dream that built Nicodemus, the Exoduster movement that carried Black families west, the railroad decision that nearly killed the town, and the stubborn survival that kept it alive when so many other Black communities disappeared. This is a story about freedom, migration, Black town-building, and what it means to refuse erasure. The country may have forgotten Nicodemus, but Nicodemus did not die.
