Requests:  0 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 Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.81 Dray Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.81 Dr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
