For each politician, the editor has 1-3 sources to get you started.

Approach
This multivolume set will provide an intimate look at black Reconstruction era politicians, spotlighting their leadership and contributions during the Reconstruction era. It will also explore the idea that if these brave souls had not found the courage to stand, the election of Barack Obama would not be possible at this juncture in history.
