Desegregation ruling echoed early 20th century Ottawa case
The Kansas Supreme Court upheld Ottawa desegregation, but the board ignored it. The 14th Amendment cited, yet no one moved, as ward schools served Black students. Barker notes Exodusters and post Civil War growth shaped Franklin County’s Black population, 1880 to 1990. Bethany Chapel Baptist and St. Paul African Methodist churches anchored community life.
