J. McHenry Jones's "Hearts of Gold" is a gripping tale of
post-Civil War battles against racism and systemic injustice.
Originally published in 1896, this novel reveals an African
American community of individuals dedicated to education,
journalism, fraternal organizations, and tireless work serving the
needs of those abandoned by the political process of the white
world. Jones challenges conventional wisdom by addressing a range
of subjects--from interracial relationships to forced labor in coal
mines--that virtually no other novelist of the time was willing to
approach. With the addition of an introduction and appendix, this
new edition reveals the difficult foundations upon which African
Americans built a platform to address injustice; generate
opportunities; and play a prominent role in American social,
economic, and political life.
