Langson,ok

Langston is just outside of oklahoma city. There lies the only historically black college in oklahoma. The people there mostly derive in poverty. Brandon curtis founded the city in october 22 of 1890. He helped migrate a heard of black people to the area and created a settlement for them. The people of the town faced much hardship during that time. Slavery had just ended and discriminatory whites did not want to see the darkies move in. Racism during that time was very harsh. The Africans would over come. They created their own college to get an education and help reduce the poverty rate. This had little effect on the city however.
