Blacks shape Kansas history
By Mark McHugh
Scholar discusses early contributions
The contributions of Blacks to Kansas history should serve as a catalyst for education, a KU scholar said yesterday.
Richard B. Sheridan, professor emeritus of economics, spoke to about 20 people at Spencer Research Library as part of the Black History Month celebration.

"Slavery was bleeding and dying, but it was not dead," Sheridan said.
Sheridan said the state's Black population increased by about 10,200 between 1860 and 1865. Missouri's Black population decreased by about 18,000 during that time.
first order.
Sheridan said the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 did not guarantee freedom to all Blacks.
In 1862 one of the first Black infantry regiments was established in Leavenworth, and generals said the troops had exemplary fighting abilities, Sheridan said. By 1865, the leading occupation for Blacks in Leavenwort was soldiery.
"Their fighting brought honor to the African-American community." he said.
Sheridan said many Blacks came into Kansas by way of the Underground Railroad and were directed to Lawrence and Topeka. From there, many of them went to Nebraska, Iowa and Canada.
Some slaves migrated to Kansas by swimming across the Missouri River. Sheridan told how in February 1863 a group of slaves even
During this migration, numerous clashes between Kansas abolitionists — known as Jayawakers — and Missourians — known as Border Ruffians — developed in towns bordering Missouri and Kansas.
One of the most memorable acts was when William Quantrill and an ennoble of guerrillas ran from a siege in August 1883, killing 180.
walked across the frozen river.
"Even Harry Truman admired Quantrill and his bushwhackers," Sheridan said.
This rivalry still lasts in the twentieth century, Sheridan said. He said he was amazed to this day that many Missourians admired Quantrill.
Will Spam, of Lawrence, said that a rivalry still existed between the two states, especially between Wyandotte and Jackson counties.
Panel addresses ethno-violent acts
Sensitivity needed toward minorities

preference. Tuttle said people needed to be more sensitive and change their attitudes toward others.
William Tuttle, professor of history, said that ethno-violence was a prank or crime directed at an individual because of his race, sex, ethnic background, religion or sexual
Ethno-violence such as verbal assaults or threatening remarks should be reported to KU police, Sgt. Schuyler Bailey, KU police spokesman, said at a panel discussion last night.
The panel, conducted at Oliver Hall, consisted of representatives of the Black Student Union, Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas, Hillel and Hispanic American Leadership Organization. Representatives answered questions and spoke about their concerns. About 40 people attended.
Bailey, the moderator for the forum, said the forum was needed because of two incidents that occurred in Oliver in Fall 1989.
"There were two incidents where graffiti was directed at a Jewish student in Oliver Valley said. "We were investigating the incidents."
Andrea Katzman, Hillel representative, said if someone told a racist joke in her presence, she made it clear she would not tolerate it.
Liz Lobert, GLSOK representative, said people thought it was acceptable to discriminate against gays and lesbians in the 1990s because of AIDS.
Gays and lesbians are verbally abused and must choose carefully what words they use and where they associate with others. Tobert said.
GLSOK provides a speaker's bureau for the campus.
"Two men and two women go to classes and answer questions about gay and lesbian myths and stereotypes." Tolbert said.
Valerie Carnes, BSU representative, said that Blacks wanted to advance to the status of being thought of as people.
Carnes said stories printed in the University Daily Kansan should not mention the race or ethnic origin of suspects of crimes.
"If someone robs a house, it should just say a man — not Black or Hispanic," Carnes said.
Shelly Farga, Celebrate Diversity chairman, said more programs were planned to address homophobia, non-traditional students and international students.
"The buttons we passed out in Spring 1989 made people start to think," Farga said. "But Celebrate Diversity needs to put on programs and educate people."
