Reconstruction Embattled: The Memphis Race Massacre Of 1866 In The Press And Tennessee's First Year Of Interracial Democracy.", Morgan Nicole Baxter
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The racial violence that occurred in Memphis, Tennessee on the first three days of May 1866 was no sudden accident.
