African Americans in Davenport, Iowa are the third largest black community in Iowa, with a history reaching back before the Civil War.
The Davenport, Iowa Metropolitan area straddles the Mississippi River and a state line in a quintet of cities called the Quad Cities. The Quad-Cities, with Davenport as its largest member, has for years been one of four cities that have been home to a majority of the states black population. The other three being Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Waterloo. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, these cities comprised 55.2% of Iowas black population.[1]
Of a total 2008 U.S. Census estimated population of 99,514,[2] 9.2 percent - or 9,200 citizens are African-American. For comparison, the average African-American population in Iowa cities is 2.5 percent.[3] In recent history, Davenport has been home to the third largest - in absolute numbers and percentage - African-American community in Iowa, behind Des Moines (16,025 in 2000, 13,164 in 1980) and Waterloo (9,529 in 2000, 8,398 in 1980). In 2000 9,093 (9.3%) of Davenports population was African-American, up from 6,229 in 1980.[4] United States Census Bureau estimates between 2005 and 2007 showed a somewhat larger community in Davenport: 11,300 or almost 12 percent of the city.[5]
The African-American population of Davenport can be traced back to at least the 1830s. Dred Scott, whose legal fight for freedom culminated in the 1857 Dred Scott Decision of the United States Supreme Court, lived in Davenport as he followed his master to various military postings in the Midwest. Residing in free states and territories, including his stay in Davenport in 1834-36, was the basis for Scotts legal arguments. A plaque now marks the spot where Scott lived.[6]
Davenport saw two major periods of African-American migration; the first, in the years up to and including the Civil War; the second, in the early 20th century. In the 19th century, African Americans fleeing both slavery and the Civil War came to Davenport because it was a major port on the

BY WINSTONE ANTONIO POLICE have launched a manhunt for a woman who is seen in a video bashing her infant daughter following a marital dispute. In a tweet last night, national police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said they were appealing for information which would lead to the location and identification of the abusive woman. The three-minute-10-second video has since gone viral on social media platforms. “The ZRP is appealing for information which can lead to the location and identification of a woman who is seen in the video assaulting her child apparently as a revenge act for a marital dispute with the father of the child,” Nyathi said. https://t.co/kdj5zVFU99The ZRP is appealing for information which can lead to the location & identification of this woman who is seen in this attached video assaulting her child apparently as a revenge act for a marital dispute with the father of the child. - Zimbabwe Republic Police (@PoliceZimbabwe) February 3, 2021 “The woman is even claiming that she will die together with the child.” In the video, the child, seated on a bed is defencelessly attacked by the hysterical mother. “In this COVID-19 time, I am suffering for you Natasha, but your relatives are chastising me saying whatever they want. I laboured for your pregnancy for seven months, seven months, seven months,” she said, handing the girl a series of blows. “I stayed in the hospital without anyone paying for my rentals, there was no one to pay for my saloon rentals, now that your father has decided to dump me, he is talking nonsense about my life. If he no longer affords the upkeep, let him say it out. If he can’t let me just kill you, after killing you, I will then kill myself so that he will not have problems in his life,' she said. The lady said she was in pain. “I am suffering in this house, I am sick and those people who come to visit me, my relatives from my roots, they have been accused of dating me, there is no one willing to pay me a visit now,” she said. “I stayed with your father’s relatives and no one helped me, they would feed on the food that I bought using my money, I suffered working to look after them and on top of that they don’t appreciate my efforts.” She added: “They go around badmouthing me, what wrong have I really done to them; your father has broken my heart, it better for me to die, I will die along with you, I will not leave you alone, I will keep on abusing you, I will beat you until I satisfy my heart, I am tired of being abused by the Kanyuchi family, I am tired.”
