It has been 34 school days since I’ve stood in front of my students. We had just finished a 3 week-long unit on The Reconstruction, trying to answer the question “Was the Era of Reconstruction steps towards democracy and freedom or continued oppression and punishment?” We had read 20+ primary sources, watched documentary clips, and read analyses of the period by historians Eric Foner and WEB Du Bois. And Friday, March 13, we were finally going to lay it all out there and debate the answer to the question.
