A review of the book: "In her gripping and elegantly written account of the Freedman’s Bank, Justene Hill Edwards illuminates the extent to which the insidious backlash to Reconstruction resonates with us today. An essential read for anyone concerned about racial and economic justice." ― Marcia Chatelain
