One hundred and fifty years after the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, the era of Reconstruction remains in the public eye. A major PBS documentary, exhibit space at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and a new Reconstruction Era National Historical Park in South Carolina all testify to an outpouring of public history connected to Reconstruction. This session features a conversation among historians and practitioners of public history about the challenges and opportunities posed by Reconstruction.
