Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. In the wake of the Civil War, many newly freed Afro-Americans sought to create a better life for themselves and their descendants. This book scrutinizes a phenomenon that emerged out of this era - the formation of benevolent associations or mutual aid societies, such as the Masons, Odd Fellows, and Knights of Pythias. The author investigates the historical context that gave rise to these organizations, and their profound spiritual, social, and economic impact. Moreover, it analyzes their continued influence on the lives of their members and the communities they serve, leaving you with a comprehensive understanding of how these post-Civil War societies fostered resilience and empowerment among African Americans.
