Benjamin Singleton, American Abolitionist and Activist

Benjamin (Pap) Singleton (1809 - February 17, 1900) was an American activist and businessman. A former slave from Tennessee, he became a noted abolitionist, community leader, and spokesman for African-American civil rights. After the end of Reconstruction, Singleton organized the movement of thousands of black colonists, known as Exodusters, to found settlements in Kansas. A prominent voice for early black nationalism, he became involved in promoting and coordinating black-owned businesses in Kansas and developed an interest in the Back-to-Africa movement.
