To Reconstruct the Nation *In-Person* *NEW*

Based on the December 2023 edition of The Atlantic, explore our evolving and conflicted understanding of the critical period of Reconstruction after the Civil War, as well as its echoes in the present day. Featuring an 1866 essay by Frederick Douglass, as well as works by Anna Devere Smith, David Blight, Peniel Joseph, Drew Gilpin Faust, and others, this issue challenges us to consider and understand the ghosts of our past, and to work to fully exorcise them now and in the future. 

Instructor will provide all the material.
