The Families’ Civil War: Black Soldiers and the Fight for Racial Justice
A Book Talk with Dr. Holly A. Pinheiro Jr.
Thursday, March 9th, 2023
Virtual Event | Free
Taking a long view, from 1850 to the 1920s, Holly A. Pinheiro Jr. shows how Civil War military service worsened already difficult circumstances due to its negative effects on family finances, living situations, minds, and bodies. The Families’ Civil War provides a compelling account of the lives of USCT soldiers and their entire families but also argues that the Civil War was but one engagement in a longer war for racial justice.
Dr. Holly A. Pinheiro Jr. is an assistant professor of African American history at Furman University. He is the author of articles in American Nineteenth Century History, the African American Intellectual History Society’s Black Perspectives blog, and the Journal of the Civil War Era‘s Muster blog.
