For the First Time, the Gripping Story of Ex-Slaves Fighting All Odds to Represent Clarke County after the Civil War during Reconstruction

   When the Civil War ended, whites and blacks struggled to make new lives for themselves. Dr. Hester's book tells how Madison Davis and Alfred Richardson sought and won election as Republicans representing Clarke County in the Legislature.
