Jacob Blake and the American Reconstruction Era

from The Delve

As America grapples with the police shooting of Jacob Blake, we're forced again to reckon with American history. This is a national tale of slavery, freedom and the pursuit of civil rights. This week we speak with Dr. Erik Mathisen from the University of Kent to help us understand the Reconstruction Era. This is the time period directly after the American Civil War where newly freed African Americans finally joined their republic.
