Reminds me of a clip I saw on FB from an Irish Gen Y historian who is celebrating Black History Month. Her clip I saw last night was a reminder that Reconstruction didn't fail - it was intentionally dismantled. I often wonder how differently things would have turned out if republicans hadn't lost their spine in the 1870s.
