[271]-294) and index.Language that cannot be misunderstood : African American commemoration, 1863-1913 -- The vanguard of liberty must look into the past : celebrations of freedom -- A resurrection of manhood : gendered reconstruction -- Has emancipation been a failure? : the end of Reconstruction -- Signs of the times : making progress in the post-Reconstruction South -- Bosoms filled with hope : collective representation in the age of Jim Crow.The historical memory of the Civil War and Reconstruction has earned increasing attention from scholars. Only recently, however, have historians begun to explore African American efforts to interpret those events. With Defining Moments, Kathleen Clark shines new light on African American commemorative traditions in the South, where events such as Emancipation Day and Fourth of July ceremonies served as opportunities for African Americans to assert their own understandings of slavery, the Civil War, and Emancipation--efforts that were vital to the struggles to define, assert, and defendAfrican AmericansSouthern StatesAnniversaries, etcEnslaved personsEmancipationUnited StatesAnniversaries, etcAfrican AmericansHistory1863-1877African AmericansHistory1877-1964African AmericansSouthern StatesPolitics and governmentPolitical cultureSouthern StatesHistory19th centuryPolitical cultureSouthern StatesHistory20th centurySouthern StatesPolitics and government1865-1950Southern StatesRace relationsAfrican AmericansAnniversaries, etc.Enslaved personsEmancipationAnniversaries, etc.African AmericansHistoryAfrican AmericansHistoryAfrican AmericansPolitics and government.Political cultureHistoryPolitical cultureHistory975/.00496073Clark Kathleen Ann1562723MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777527003321Defining moments3830576UNINA
