Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The companion volume to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture exhibit, opening in September 2021 With a Foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Eric Foner and a preface by veteran museum director and historian Spencer Crew An incisive and illuminating analysis of the enduring legacy of the post-Civil War period known as Reconstruction—a comprehensive story of Black Americans’ struggle for human rights and dignity and the failure of the nation to fulfill its promises of freedom, citizenship, and justice. In the aftermath of the Civil War, millions of free and newly freed African Americans were determined to define themselves as equal citizens in a country without slavery—to own land, build secure families, and educate themselves and their children. Seeking to secure safety and justice, they successfully campaigned for civil and political rights, including the right to vote. Across an expanding America, Black politicians were elected to all levels of government, from city halls to state capitals to Washington, DC. But those gains were short-lived. By the mid-1870s, the federal government stopped enforcing civil rights laws, allowing white supremacists to use suppression and violence to regain power in the Southern states. Black men, women, and children suffered racial terror, segregation, and discrimination that confined them to second-class citizenship, a system known as Jim Crow that endured for decades. More than a century has passed since the revolutionary political, social, and economic movement known as Reconstruction, yet its profound consequences reverberate in our lives today. Make Good the Promises explores five distinct yet intertwined legacies of Reconstruction—Liberation, Violence, Repair, Place, and Belief—to reveal their lasting impact on modern society. It is the story of Frederick Douglass, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Hiram Revels, Ida B. Wells, and scores of other Black men and women who reshaped a nation—and of the persistence of white supremacy and the perpetuation of the injustices of slavery continued by other means and codified in state and federal laws. With contributions by leading scholars, and illustrated with 80 images from the exhibition, Make Good the Promises shows how Black Lives Matter, #SayHerName, antiracism, and other current movements for repair find inspiration from the lessons of Reconstruction. It touches on questions critical then and now: What is the meaning of freedom and equality? What does it mean to be an American? Powerful and eye-opening, it is a reminder that history is far from past; it lives within each of us and shapes our world and who we are.

Book excerpt: How can a love so sweet and simple suddenly go so crazy and wrong? How can this love that frightens me feel so right and true?In the first dark hour of spring, when I was thirteen, I sat next to my mother on the tailgate of an ambulance while our home burned. We'd watched five firefighters hurl themselves into the flames in hopes of rescuing my father and my brothers.I knew they were too late. I turned to my mother and told her so. I also told her I knew what she'd done. Her reply: she'd had to do it, so she could take me back to my real father in North Carolina.She pulled it off, too-the 'North Carolina' part, anyway. Before the fire marshall had time to scratch his head, we'd crossed the country to Mom's home town.Eighteen months later, she nearly killed the man I thought we'd come here to find. There were witnesses that time, though, and Mom was in jail within the hour. She's been locked up ever since.That was four and a half years ago. And, once the dust cleared, I discovered how peaceful-even happy-life could be without my mother in it. I lived with my grandmother. I went to school and made friends I could actually bring home. I spent most of my free hours in the family owned dance studio (dance and gymnastics had been my 'happy place' since I was five).I even fell in love.I'm a senior now, nineteen years old and graduating in just a few months. My family thought I should get myself transferred to a school with a solid gymnastics team, a team college scouts make a point of watching. That meant moving to a different school district.My boyfriend and I leapt at the chance to live the dream we shared, a place of our own. Free to love each other.Maybe that was a bad idea.**AUTHOR'S NOTE: This Young Adult novel examines intimate partner abuse in ways that may be unexpected.
