Tasting Freedom: Octavius Catto and the Battle for Equality in Civil War America
Recent history texts of The American Civil Rights Movement have tended to roll back its timeline before 1954 and expand its cast of heroes. Well, this book is about a civil rights leader whose murder came six years after the assassination of a great American President. Oh, you might think, another book about MLK and JFK. Biddle and Dubin are writing about the death of Octavius Valentine Catto in Philadelphia in 1871, six years after Abraham Lincoln's assassination.
Expertly researched, this book exploded all my notions about civil rights timelines. It painstakingly connected the 19th century struggles of African Americans to end slavery, to serve in the military, to ride in streetcars, to agitate for voting rights, with all their subsequent battles during Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow. I'll be citing this informative text for many years to come. It was not, however, an easy read. For that reason I gave it only four stars.
