“Unpunished Murder” by Lawrence Goldstone discusses the issues and struggles of African-Americans before and after the Reconstruction. The racism and injustice they face and how they fight for their rights are all included in this book. . The majority of the book is the build-up to the main event (the Colfax massacre) and how there were many obstacles the people who were fighting for freedom had to overcome just to establish a simple law to treat black people as equals and even more obstacles to enforce these laws. The theme of this book is that everyone should be treated equally and not have to go through so much just for a simple right they are born with. (WARNING: This book contains lots of American politics, government, and things related to the South and North political parties)
I give this book a 2/5 (personal opinion) stars simply because I do not enjoy long informational books that are slow-paced and I found that this book was quite repetitive, however, I think it is good to be educated about these major historical events so if you like to read about politics and history, this is your book.

You spoke fluently in your video. I like your theme about equality of people with different colors, the evidence was also connected to the theme. 🙂
