In this nonfiction work for middle-grade readers, Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. explores the turbulent history of America during and after Reconstruction, from the end of the Civil War to the rise of segregation laws. Told through real-life accounts, illustrations, photographs, and other primary sources, Dark Sky Rising humanizes the people and events of Reconstruction’s democratic experiment, its tragic undermining, and the drawing of a new “color line” in the Jim Crow era that followed.
