  • The Book Report: (The Color of Law) A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America
    The Book Report Series: Highlights of some very great books about American history. A list of books everyone should have in their libraries. The Color of Law is a groundbreaking investigation into how U.S. governments in the twentieth century deliberately imposed racial segregation on metropolitan areas nationwide. Richard Rothstein has painstakingly documented how our cities—from San Francisco to Boston—became so divided. Rothstein describes how federal, state, and local governments systematically imposed residential segregation: with undisguised racial zoning, public housing that purposefully served previously mixed communities, subsidies for builders to create whites—only suburbs, tax exemptions for prejudiced institutions, and support for violent resistance to African Americans in white neighborhoods. Rothstein demonstrates how police and prosecutors brutally upheld these standards, and how such policies still influence tragedies in places like Ferguson and Baltimore. With painstaking research, The Color of Law forces us to face the obligation to remedy our unconstitutional past.

  • The Book Report: (Forty Acres and A Mule) The Freedmen’s Bureau and Black Land Ownership
    The Book Review Series: Highlights of some very great books about American history. A list of books everyone should have in their libraries. First published in 1978, Claude F. Oubre’s Forty Acres and a Mule has since become a definitive study in the history of American Reconstruction. Drawing on a vast collection of government records and newspapers, Oubre examines what he sees as the crucial question of Reconstruction: Why were the vast majority of freed slaves denied the opportunity to own land during the Reconstruction era, leaving them vulnerable to a persecution that strongly resembled slavery? Oubre recounts the struggle of black families to acquire land and how the U.S. government agency Freedmen’s Bureau both served and obstructed them. Claude F. Oubre (1937-2011) was a professor of history and political science at Louisiana State University at Eunice and coauthor of Creoles of Color in the Bayou Country.

  • The Book Report: (Columbus & The Quest for Jerusalem)
    The Book Review Series: Highlights of some very great books about American history. A list of books everyone should have in their libraries. Delaney argues that Columbus was inspired to find a western route to the Orient not only to obtain vast sums of gold for the Spanish Crown but primarily to fund a new crusade to take Jerusalem from the Muslims before the end of the world—a goal that sustained him until the day he died. Drawing from oft-ignored sources, some from Columbus’s own hand, Delaney depicts her subject as a thoughtful interpreter of the native cultures that he and his men encountered, and tells the tragic story of how his initial attempts to establish good relations with the natives turned badly sour. Showing Columbus in the context of his times rather than through the prism of present-day perspectives on colonial conquests reveals a man who was neither a greedy imperialist nor a quixotic adventurer, but a man driven by an abiding religious passion.

Transported convicts were paraded for sale like livestock.
