Empire, Wyoming, was a pioneering African American settlement founded in 1908 near Torrington, Wyoming. The community was established by the Speese and Taylor families from Nebraska, who sought self-sufficiency and political autonomy during a time of widespread racial discrimination.

At its peak, Empire had a population of nearly 50 residents and notable institutions, including a post office, a Presbyterian church led by Reverend Russell Taylor, and a public school established in 1909. Sallie Thistle, a young teacher from Cheyenne, ensured the community’s children received an education. These achievements reflected the settlers’ determination to build a thriving and self-reliant town.

However, Empire faced significant challenges. The settlers practiced dryland farming, which left them vulnerable to recurring droughts. Racial tensions with neighboring communities also posed threats. A tragic turning point occurred in 1913 when Baseman Taylor, one of the settlers, died after reportedly being beaten while in custody. This event demoralized the community and led to its decline.

By the 1920s, many residents had left due to hardships, with some moving south for better opportunities and others returning to Nebraska. By 1930, Empire had effectively disappeared. Today, its legacy is commemorated by historical markers in Wyoming, serving as a testament to the resilience and determination of African American homesteaders who pursued freedom and autonomy in the face of adversity.

🖤🕯I T I S S H E 🕯🖤 ✨Happy belated to the REALEST ONE, the late great Lorraine Hansberry✨ if the only work of her’s that you know is ” A Raisin in the sun” then you are represented the embodiment of ”a dream deferred”. Lorraine taught us how to see ourselves in every narrative; that you are undeniably YOUNG, GIFT, AND BLACK. She held up a mirror a showed us the true hero, antagonist, villain and saint in us all. 1luv ~TIG 🌹💎💋 : : : : #lorrainehansberry #yoga #magicalmoments #being #melanin #blackgirlmagic #therejoicingdaughter #reiki #blackownedbusiness #theiridescentlifestyle #goddessflow #bruja #divinefeminine #theiridescentgoddess #blackgirlswhoblog #yogi #smile #magic #manifesting #powerofnature #youtuber #blackwriters #indigo #trending #wisdom #radiantbeings #gratitude #influencer #witch #selah #ase (at Harlem) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxvTxaSldmb/?igshid=8lffzeoukwcd
