February is Black History Month! Check out Chris Clarke’s, African-Americans Shaping the California Desert Clarke writes,
In 1910, the first year of homesteading in the Lanfair Valley (now part of the Mojave Preserve), six land claims were filed by black people, a respectable proportion of the total number of claims. All in all 17 African-American families homesteaded the valley, most of them in the vicinity of Dunbar – a settlement intended to serve as a center for African-American folks.
