EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Benjamin Pap Singleton, an influential figure in American history. Born in 1809, Singleton was a prominent African American reformer who played a crucial role in the fight for equal rights and against discrimination. In this full-length portrait, Singleton's commanding presence is evident as he stands tall with his distinguished beard. His piercing gaze reflects the determination and resilience that defined his life's work. As a campaigner for social justice, he dedicated himself to improving the lives of African Americans facing poverty and racial oppression. The photograph captures Singleton during a pivotal moment in history when he became the national spokesman for the Exodusters movement of 1879-80. This mass migration saw thousands of impoverished African Americans seeking refuge from their dire circumstances in the South by moving to Kansas. Singleton's legacy extends beyond his advocacy efforts; he also founded two black separatist colonies within Kansas. These communities provided opportunities for self-sufficiency and empowerment to those who had been marginalized for far too long. Through this remarkable image, we are reminded of Benjamin Pap Singleton's significant contributions to civil rights activism. It serves as a testament to his unwavering commitment towards creating a more just society where all individuals are treated equally regardless of their race or background.
