"Emancipation is the first truly comprehensive reference book covering the first one hundred years of African Americans in the legal profession. Other legal historians and biographers must take Smith's work as a starting point for gauging the impact Black lawyers and institutions have had upon the evolution of the American legal profession."--Black Issues in Higher Education. "The sheer quantity of information contained in Emancipation is overwhelming; the impact of page after page of data, stories and lives, and the thousands of detailed, extensive footnotes and documentation is simply overpowering. It is a monumental achievement."--Southern University Law Review. "A remarkable piece of scholarship. . . . Emancipation contains a wealth of information previously unknown even to those who consider themselves well-informed about African-American history. . . . It will, I am sure, serve as the definitive authority on the history of black lawyers for years to come."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Emancipation is an important and impressive work; one cannot read it without being inspired by the legal acumen, creativity, and resiliency these pioneer lawyers displayed. . . . It should be read by everyone interested in understanding the road African-Americans have traveled and the challenges that lie ahead."--From the Foreword by Justice Thurgood Marshall. J. Clay Smith, Jr., is Professor of Law and formerly Dean at the Howard University School of Law. He has served as President of the Washington Bar Association and as National President of the Federal Bar Association. He was appointed U.S. Commissioner of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by President Jimmy Carter and later served as Acting Chairman under President Ronald Reagan. He is the author of Rebels in Law: Voices in History of Black Women Lawyers.

In the wake of the Civil War and among the masses of uneducated, frightened, newly emancipated slaves and oppressed free Blacks, there arose a handful of Black men who were the living embodiment of strength, courage, intelligence, and dignity, and they refused to be viewed as anything less. Although their society denied them freedom, prosperity, and education, they achieved national renown and fought on the front lines for liberty-loving American citizens. Despite the hostile forces that surrounded them, they found ways to become skilled and well-versed in the US Constitution, world history, law, literature, and the Bible. Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, powerful political forces successfully removed discussion of their lives and achievements from our classrooms. These pillars of Black history were blatantly erased from our educational institutions and canceled from consideration for generations. Why? Because any Black student who studied their lives would be inspired to follow in their footsteps and achieve heights beyond what racist segments of American society had predetermined for them. Try as they may, however, these malevolent political entities could not hide the fact these men existed. Volumes of information still exist about them. Because of the grace of God, these malicious, spiteful political forces could not collect and destroy every publication that circulated the names of these Black men and their accomplishments. They appeared in newspapers, magazines, and books across the country throughout the nineteenth century. Details of their experiences remain well-documented, and their ideas and opinions live on in speeches given about 150 years ago. These men were articulate and greatly distinguished themselves from their peers. They resisted the popular culture of their day and knew they stood as equals with all men before God. These men thrived in the face of racial hatred and bigotry that many in today's Black community could not bear. They had uncommon strength, will, and determination that carried them through the most violent era of the Ku Klux Klan and an apathetic federal government. They did not cower, and they did not fold when faced with adversity. Among these men were Congressman Robert Brown Elliott, Congressman Joseph Hayne Rainey, Congressman James T. Rapier, Congressman Richard Harvey Cain, and Congressman John Roy Lynch. A close examination of their lives, experiences, and speeches will likely produce the same strength of will, devotion to knowledge, and commitment to excellence within today's Black community. In Black History Heroes of the Reconstruction Era: Volume 1, we will learn about the life and experiences of Congressman Robert Brown Elliott. Throughout Elliott's life, even his enemies had to admit he was an extremely impressive young man. He was clearly one of the most scholarly and well-educated lawyers in the country, Black or White. Elliott could have chosen to build a successful law firm in the North, living a life of relative luxury with his family and of notoriety in Boston legal circles. Instead, he felt compelled to live in the birthplace of the Civil War: South Carolina. Elliott called on all his courage and skill to help the newly emancipated slaves. His efforts eventually led him to the halls of Congress, where he participated in the historic debate on the Civil Rights Act of 1875. Congressman Elliott experienced many successes and failures. But even in the face of failure, he had a quality that would not allow him to quit or surrender.
