One of the country’s oldest historically-Black communities is holding a free, one-day COVID-19 vaccination clinic that includes a $50 gift card giveaway during it’s annual heritage and history celebration. The 143rd Nicodemus Homecoming will take place Thursday through Sunday in the town, about 230 miles northwest of Wichita in Graham County. … The homecoming event, which commemorates the establishment of Nicodemus in 1877 by formerly enslaved people from Kentucky, is organized by the Nicodemus Historical Society with support from the Kansas African American Affairs Commission. The town, which today has only a few dozen residents, was designated as a National Historic Landmark District in 1976 by the National Park Service.
