A propos de cet article

Paperback. Centering Black grief in the aftermath of Lincolns assassination On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth carried out the first presidential assassination in United States history. The euphoria resulting from General Lees surrender evaporated at the news of Abraham Lincolns murder. The nationexcepting many white Southernersfound itself consumed with grief, and no group mourned Lincoln more deeply than people of color. African Americans did not speak with a monolithic voice on social or political issues, but even Lincolns Black contemporaries who may not have approved of him while he was alive mourned his death, understanding its implications for their future. Beginning with the assassination itself and chronicling Lincolns three-week-long national funeral, historian Leonne M. Hudson captures the profound sadness of Black Americans as they mourned the crafter of the Emancipation Proclamation and the man they thought of as their earthly Moses, father, friend, and benefactor. Hudson continues the narrative by detailing the postwar efforts of African Americans to gain citizenship and voting rights.Black Americans in Mourning includes the tributes of prominent figures such as Frederick Douglass, Martin R. Delany, and Elizabeth Keckley, who raised their voices to honor Lincoln, as well as formal expressions of grief by institutions and organizations such as the United States Colored Troops. In a triumph of research, Hudson also features the voices of lesser-known Black people who mourned Lincoln across the country, showing that the outpouring of individual and collective grief helped set the stage for his enduring glorification. Black Americans in Mourning chronicles the grief felt by African Americans after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The book features prominent men and women, such as Frederick Douglass, Martin R. Delany, and Elizabeth Keckley, as well as the hard-to-find voices of lesser-known Black people. The collective mourning of Black Americans set the stage for Lincoln's glorification.
