Chesnutt was also an educator. His legal career was largely as a court stenographer. @fallen7627 is right that he used literature to address the issues of race in America. His 1895 biography of Douglass was probably the first published bio of the late Douglass." #everyvoice2020

Hank Klibanoff, Professor of Practice at #Emory and host of podcast "Buried Truths," explores a mystery from #Reconstruction: Why would white klansmen call themselves the "black cavalry," a term that usually refers to African American Buffalo soldiers? https://t.co/5d4Topp14V

Learn more about the Reed family and voting from @ProfCAnderson : https://t.co/ifINggIkrX

[Lift Every Voice 2020 @EveryVoice2020]

African American #Texas farmer J.L. Reed paid a poll tax to be able to exercise his right to vote in 1904. He paid $1.75 to cast a ballot. That's the equivalent of $52.78 today. Vote. It's important. #election2020
