Episode 2 - Black Reconstruction - a podcast by The Lit Review

On today's episode, we'll be speaking with Nathan Ryan of Grassroots Collaborative, and Debbie Southorn, of the People's Response Team, about Black Reconstruction in America: 1860-1880, the most important book you'll ever read! Assigned as essential reading to many local, Chicago organizers by long-time Chicago organizer and prison abolitionist Mariame Kaba, this book details the role that Black people played in reconstruction after the Civil War, when Black people were freed from slavery and began reconstructing American society.

Key questions:
What was reconstruction?
What are some of the gains made by Black people in this time?
What is the potential of reconstruction?
