Remembering Reconstruction
“[N]o republic is safe that tolerates a privileged class, or denies to any of its citizens equal rights and equal means to maintain them.”
Frederick Douglass on the importance of Reconstruction.
Hey, PushBlack fam! Last week we went back 50 years to 1965 Selma, Alabama to provide some context around the voter suppression happening in North Carolina right now. Today, we’re going way back, 150 years to the Reconstruction Era, to get a better understanding of what’s happening in the Tar Heel State. This is part 2 of our 3 part series on NC voting rights. Look out for part 3 next week.
