Freedom's First Generation: Black Hampton, Virginia, 1861-1890 (Reconstructing America) Book

In this age of affirmative action and increasing complexity in black-white relations, this pioneering study of Hampton, Virginia, tells the story of what race relations in postbellum America "might have been."
