Post-Civil War America was a new world. For African Americans living in the former Confederacy, Reconstruction was what historian W. E. B.

Although their“brief moment in the sun” had been cast in shadow, African Americans refused to retreat and used their voices and pens to continue to fight for those rights afforded to white Americans.
