1952 Newspaper Article Discussing Black Voting Power
Along with the thousands of African American migrants to the urban North during the mid-twentieth century came growing political power. Increasingly, black voters in the North could provide a meaningful margin in local, state and even national elections. This 1952 headline suggests that African American political power has much deeper roots in Nebraska than the more recent historic victory of Barack Obama as the nation’s first black president.
