Starting a new book. I have wanted to read this for a while but I'm finally getting to it now. Reconstruction is a period of American history I did not learn about until I was an adult. #MakeGoodThePromises #Reconstruction

@SmithsonianSec @TranscribeSI The Freedmen’s Bureau operated in 15 states throughout the South from 1865 to 1872. Through their interactions with the Freedmen’s Bureau, African Americans fought to secure the things they needed to live as free citizens, including land, family, education, safety, and justice.
