Summary:  Pulitzer Prize finalist Philip Dray shines a light on a little known group of men: the nation's first black members of Congress. These men played a critical role in pushing for much-needed reforms in the wake of a traumatic civil war, including public education for all children, equal rights, and protection from Klan violence. But they have been either neglected or maligned by most historians--their "glorious failure" chalked up to corruption and "ill-preparedness."--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Collection Call No. Status   Adult: Non-fiction 973.81 Dra On Shelf Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
