Follow Me Down to Nicodemus Town

When Dede sees a notice offering land to black people in Kansas, her family decides to give up their life of sharecropping to become homesteading pioneers in the Midwest. Inspired by the true story of Nicodemus, Kansas, a town founded in the late 1870s by Exodusters—former slaves leaving the Jim Crow South in search of a new beginning—this fictional story follows Dede and her parents as they set out to stake and secure a claim, finally allowing them to have a home to call their own.

Cand Dede vede o notificare care ofera pamant oamenilor negri din Kansas, familia ei decide sa renunte la viata lor de a se imparti pentru a deveni pionieri gospodari in Midwest. Inspirata de povestea adevarata a lui Nicodem, Kansas, un oras fondat la sfarsitul anilor 1870 de Exodusters - fosti sclavi care paraseau Jim Crow South in cautarea unui nou inceput - aceasta poveste fictiva il urmareste pe Dede si pe parintii ei in timp ce isi propun sa mizeze si sa-si asigure o cerere, permitandu-le in cele din urma sa aiba o casa pe care sa o sune a lor.
