Notes

Abstract: Blacks migrating to Oklahoma Territory before and after the turn of the century not the land of opportunity for which they hoped, but one replete with social and political barriers. Nudie E. Williams examines the life of the "African Lion," George Napier Perks, who through example and newspaper editorials became the champion of black civil rights.
