Does anyone remember Reconstruction?
There was something like a dozen black Republicans in Congress.
Does anyone recall being taught about them in school?
Does anyone recall a PBS documentary about them? a movie? a best selling book?
Just wondering.

The first Black Democrat wasn't elected to the U.S. House until 1934 (he beat a Black Republican incumbent). The first Black Male Democrat wasn't elected to the U.S. Senate until 2004, that being Zero. The GOP elected their first in 1870.
