As part of the ACWM celebration of Black History Month, we present this virtual program with Dr. Kate Masur, a leading historian of Reconstruction and Pulitzer Prize-finalist, as she shares from her most recent book, Freedom Was in Sight! This graphic history, vividly drawn by award-winning artist Liz Clarke, uses the words and experiences of Black Americans in Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas to tell the story of the post-Civil War era, exploring how people worked to reunite their families, build communities, and claim rights long denied them.
