SUMMARY:Black Reconstruction in America 1860-1880 - ch.5 - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The pioneering work in the study of the role of Black Americans during Reconstruction by the most influential Black intellectual of his time. \nThis pioneering work was the first full-length study of the role black Americans played in the crucial period after the Civil War\, when those enslaved had been freed and the attempt was made to reconstruct American society. Hailed at the time\, Black Reconstruction in America 1860–1880 has justly been called a classic. \nFrom webdubois.org- “Du Bois published Black Reconstruction (BR) in 1935 with Harcourt\, Brace and Company (New York). He completed it after leaving the NAACP and returning to Atlanta University. Its subtitle\, “An Essay Toward a History of the Part Which Black Folk Played in the Attempt to Reconstruct Democracy in America\, 1860-1880\,” neatly summarized his central argument in the book. Accordingly\, Black Reconstruction foregrounds several recurring Du Boisian themes: the role of African American agency in the building of the U.S.A. and the significance of promoting African American equality and freedom in order to achieve the promise of democracy. The book directly challenged dominant views of the time that the Reconstruction era in American history was a disaster for the South and for the country. It received much comment\, including criticisms\, from across the political spectrum. \nCopies of Black Reconstruction are available from Underground Railroad Education Center (Underground Railroad History Project) for $25 + $5 postage. Please contact Mary Liz Stewart at 518-779-4038 to make arrangements. \nDue to the COVID-19 situation the book discussion will be held via Zoom – Meeting connection information follows:\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/5209859664 \nMeeting ID: 520 985 9664\nOne tap mobile\n+19292056099\,\,5209859664# US (New York)                                                                                                +13017158592\,\,5209859664# US (Germantown) \nDial by your location\n+1 929 205 6099 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\nMeeting ID: 520 985 9664\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kwG6LNKCr \n
