Description: The Black Experience, 1865-1978, is a collection of documents and interpretative writings relating to the history of black people in the United States since the Civil War. The documents illustrate the different attempts by black Americans to achieve an independent economic and political status against a background of white prejudice and fear of economic competition. Explanations and interpretations of white responses to black aspirations and activities are included in excerpts from the analyses of commentators and students of race relations, both black and white.
