Reseña del libro "Freedom And Citizenship (en Inglés)"
"Freedom And Citizenship" is the autobiography of John Mercer Langston, a prominent African American abolitionist, attorney, educator, and politician. Born free in Virginia, Langston overcame numerous obstacles to become one of the most influential figures of the 19th century. His life story offers a compelling firsthand account of the struggle for civil rights and equality in the United States. Langston's narrative details his education at Oberlin College, his legal career, and his service as a recruiter for the United States Colored Troops during the Civil War. He recounts his tenure as Dean of the Howard University Law School and his appointment as Minister Resident and Consul General to Haiti. Most notably, he shares his experiences as the first African American elected to the United States Congress from Virginia. "Freedom And Citizenship" is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the challenges and triumphs of African Americans during the Reconstruction era and beyond.
