Abstract
Through the examination African American office holders during reconstruction, my independent study centers around an understanding of the evolution of Black freedom during the time frame from the 17th to the 21st Century. Examining Black Political Power, specifically, I am examining the lives of John Roy Lynch, W.E.B Dubois, and Fredrick Douglas to uncover how individual historical subjects featured the project of Black freedom. I plan to argue the process that took place for the evolution of Black freedom through Political Power. One of my theories is that Black Reconstruction has never ended and that there is a non-consistent progression towards equality. So, examining the lives of the major historians that had an impact in the evolution of African American freedom, including a focus on the state of Georgia during the founding and reconstruction era.
