Posted this morning at Electric Politics, a podcast interview with Dr. Raymond W. Smock, author most recently of Booker T. Washington: Black Leadership in the Age of Jim Crow. Ray is a former official historian of the U.S. House of Representatives and a leading authority on Booker T. Washington, having worked with Washington's papers for over twenty years.
Slavery was the critical bargain in setting up the American system of government -- the question is, was it worth it? What light does Jim Crow America shed on slavery's horrific constitutional implications? If you find this podcast interesting please feel free to redistribute the link.
