Title

African-American History in Mahaska County; Iowa

Description

African-Americans played a very serious role in Mahaska County, Iowa history. From its early inception, African-Americans have participated in major events that determined the prosperity of the county. When Mahaska County was a major coal extractor in Iowa and the United States, African-Americans hard work and effort helped make this happen. Local businesses owned and operated by African-Americans gave the citizens of Mahaska County dependability and great service. From the Civil War until the present day, African-Americans have gave their service and lives in honor of the United States, Iowa, and Mahaska County. Pictured here are two African-Americans with a mule between 1890 and 1900 in Mahaska County, Iowa.
