- Description
Following 12 African American families who left Oklahoma in 1910 for Maidstone, Saskatchewan, The Road to Shiloh is a story about race, law, and identity in the prairies in the early 1900s. Leander K. Lane dives back into his own family history to explore his ancestors’ experience, their successes, and the barriers they faced while forming Saskatchewan’s first Black community. This work has a combination of historical transcripts, archival photos, newspaper clippings, and even school board meeting books to develop a robust picture of the experiences of these families. Excerpts from The Road to Shiloh could be integrated into social studies lessons to delve into the historic treatment of Black families, using the Lane family as a case example. It could also be used as an example of informative, well-researched writing for English language arts.
