John Roy Lynch spent most of his childhood as a slave in
Mississippi, but all of that changed with the Emancipation
Proclamation. Suddenly people like John Roy could have paying jobs
and attend school. While many people in the South were unhappy with
the social change, John Roy thrived in the new era. He was
appointed to serve as justice of the peace and was eventually
elected into the United States Congress. This biography, with its
informative backmatter and splendid illustrations, gives readers an
in-depth look at the Reconstruction period through the life of one
of the fi rst African-American congressmen.
