Today's discussion is all about Reconstruction, an intentionally ignored topic in American history. Now, there's no way a podcast or documentary can take the place of good old fashion studying (especially on a subject as vital as Reconstruction) but Mark and Dr. Mitchell will shed some much needed light on the subject and its importance in not only black American history, but American history as a whole.
