I am going to change this from a redirect to African American history to a link there. In the next little while I will develop it into an article of its own (initially a stub). It's wrong to try to lump all of African American history into a single page (we certainly wouldn't try to lump in every predominantly-white-involved American historical article into a single article), and the Exodusters represent a historical event that deserve an independant article. Furthermore, according to the wikipedia article on Black Canadians there may be a Canadian connection as well, so a redirect to African American history would be even more wrong if I can confirm that.

What's more, while the word "Exoduster" ought to be in the wikictionary, this merits a real article in wikipedia.

Yes, please absolutely write an article on Exodusters. Even a short article of a few sentences will do. However, in the meantime, it's better to keep the page as a redirect. - Nat Krause 7 July 2005 04:37 (UTC)
