the group worked to earn money. in 1868, they bought some land. it became africatown. the people of africatown chose a chief. they passed laws. businesses were started. some people farmed. most importantly, they kept their african language and customs alive.
over time, the people of africatown shared their stories with the world. they also told them to their children and grandchildren. this helped them keep their ties to africa.
africatown grew. by the 1960s, 12,000 people lived there. in fact, people still live there today. its the last town in the u.s. that was started by emancipated african people.
