ABOUT US
Freedmen was the term used to identify America’s emancipated slaves and their descendants after chattel slavery was abolished in the United States following the Civil War. America’s Freedmen were supposed to be Freemen entitled to all of the personal, political and civil rights granted to our country’s citizens. Yet, America repeatedly used race to deny its newest Freemen the full scope of these benefits conferred with citizenship, including equal access to participate in economic opportunities.
