Eugene Pieter Romayn Feldman, Black Power in Old Alabama

Description

Feldman’s Black Power in Old Alabama is the story of Alabama Congressman, James T. Rapier. Rapier, born during slavery days in Florence, Alabama, was not only Reconstruction-era congressman, buta labor, organizer, and newspaper editor, too. 

A fascinating life that puts the lie to so many old myths about African American politicians during Reconstruction.

Fine.
