The first recorded African-American resident of Madera was Dexter Hunt, a 31-year-old porter who worked for Captain Russel Perry Mace in his hotel. He arrived here in 1880.<\/p><p>For the next 20 years, Madera continued to grow, from 217 residents in 1880 to 2,500 in 1900. By comparison, the African-American population of Madera grew from that single individual in 1880 to 42 in 1900. For the next two decades of the 20th century, the influx of Black residents to Madera remained at a trickle, until the Great Western Migration of the 1940s, \u201950s, and \u201960s. That\u2019s when the direction of Black migration changed from North to West, and that\u2019s when the foundation for Madera\u2019s African-American community was formed.<\/p><p>Research into Madera\u2019s African-American community reveals three distinct patterns in the lives of the town\u2019s Black residents. The years from 1900 to 1940 can be described as the \u201cJim Crow\u201d stage. Although Madera managed to avoid the lynchings that swept the South, a Jim Crow mentality did exist here.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madera was founded and first populated by whites.
