The @AmHistReview did not review W.E.B. Du Bois’s BLACK RECONSTRUCTION—the greatest history book ever written— when it was released in 1935 because the editors did not recognize it as history. 88 years later, Du Bois gets his due. Written by yours truly 🤗 https://t.co/xb6tSQ3y4e

[CBS Mornings @CBSMornings]

The docuseries "Lincoln's Dilemma" explores Pres. Lincoln's life and time in office — and challenges the perception of who he was.

@jelani9 and @kcarterjackson say it offers an opportunity to reflect on a divisive time in U.S. history: "The past should be a cautionary tale.”
