from emancipation through Jim Crow

"In African American History: From Emancipation through Jim Crow, join Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Associate Professor of African American history at The Ohio State University, to learn about the African American struggle for freedom and civil rights from 1865 to the 1940s. In 12 lectures, accompany Hasan on a journey from Reconstruction to Jackie Robinson's first Major League Baseball game, examining the unique struggles faced by Black Americans who were technically free but increasingly limited in what they were able to do. Get to know key Black figures from Black Nationalist Marcus Garvey to socialist activist A. Philip Randolph. Investigate how, even after slavery, the scourge of white supremacy persisted in many different forms. And discover the remarkable resilience and creativity of African Americans facing astronomical social, political, and economic obstacles."--, Publisher's website
