  • Episode #149 Clint Bruce: Afro-Creole Poetry in French from Radical Civil War–Era Newspapers
    Clint Bruce talks about his new book Afro-Creole Poetry from Louisiana's Radical Civil War Era Newspapers. The book is full pf poetry and history with lessons that reach through to the present. Bruce dug into two papers founded during the Civil War by free people of color in New Orleans. Bruce reads poems from the book and illuminates often overlooked events from the Reconstruction Era including the New Orleans massacre. His discovery of newspaper records on the massacre's aftermath, previously thought to have vanished, show a different history - and one closer to the truth - than that presented in most media coverage from the time.
