Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - WINNER, Superior Achievement Award in 'Scholarly Publications' from the Illinois State Historical Society's 2025 Best of Illinois History Awards!WINNER, 2024 Friends of Morris Library Delta Award!The most influential Black leader in 19th century southern Illinois This key biography of John J. Bird unveils the forgotten story of a remarkable Black political figure in post-Civil War Illinois. Emerging as a leader in Cairo, the city with Illinois' second-largest Black community, Bird played a pivotal role in advancing civil rights within the state, also becoming Illinois' first Black elected judge and first Black trustee of the University of Illinois. Watchman, Tell Us deftly examines Bird's lifetime of service and advocacy for a vulnerable community and the ways in which he successfully advocated for and protected voting rights, educational opportunity, and public access for the Black residents of southern Illinois. Bird arrived in Cairo at age twenty during the Civil War to aid the 2,000 Black refugees from the South living there. By 1870, he had established the city's substantial Black Republican wing, providing the Black community with unprecedented political influence in this hostile, majority white, Democratic town. Under Bird's leadership, the Black Republicans pressed for policies that improved the well-being of the African American population, including the early establishment of a Black public school, the rise of an integrated judicial system, and the ability to access public and private businesses.

When Bird died in 1912, the nation he loved had once again betrayed its Black citizens, and it appeared that most of the achievements he had fought for had collapsed. But the work of Bird and the other civil rights workers of the nineteenth century created the foundation upon which the movements of the twentieth century could stand.…
