We watched more of our second film interpretation of Reconstruction, the PBS documentary of that name, then discussed briefly how it compares not only to Birth of a Nation  but also to the mainstream interpretation of Reconstruction throughout the twentieth century.

HW due Tuesday:
There will be a quiz covering:
* Birth of a Nation
* the historical handout on Reconstruction from Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States.
* the parts we watched from the documentary film Reconstruction
