Atchison has a rich and varied history, and an integral part of it is the history of our Black community. There are currently multiple initiatives to bring attention to the legacy of Atchison’s Black community, including the restoration of the Black Business District through the Atchison County Historical Society, and the Juneteenth Celebration Committee. Each of these initiatives has drawn attention from the Atchison Community and the generosity of our town is evident in their success.
