Professor Kate Masur of the Department of History is part of the PBS series, “Reconstruction: America After the Civil War” which explores years following the American Civil War.
In the 4-hour documentary series the post-war Reconstruction era (1865-77) is explored:
“A tumultuous yet significant chapter in American history, the Reconstruction era brought with it radical changes in how our country governs its people–all of its people. During the period from 1863 to 1877, our nation witnessed the death of a president, the birth of American civil rights movement, and the efforts of many to reunite a country divided.” – PBS series description
