Examining the careers of six black congressmen in the post-Civil War South, the author finds—contrary to much scholarly opinion—that these elected officials represented their constituents effectively while working in tandem with unelected black leaders such as Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Timothy Thomas Fortune, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Booker T. Washington.
