Join us for a look at Nicodemus, Kansas, an all-black town settled by former slaves in 1877. On March 11th, Johnson County Community College will host Flyin' West, a play about life in Nicodemus, as well as a presentation from Angela Bates, the executive director of the Nicodemus Historical Society. Join us 8:00 Sunday night for a conversation with Angela West, the cast and crew of Flyin' West, and Dr. Jim Leiker, director of the Kansas Studies Institute at JCCC.
