Tbh, the history of America is a litany of incremental steps towards equity consistently fucked over by white supremacists.
The period of reconstruction was marked by widespread voter intimidation and violence against both Black folks and whites who sought to pass legislation that protected them.
Reconstruction didn’t fail, it was prevented from succeeding by the same shit we’re dealing with today.
