Book Synopsis Henry W. Blair's Campaign to Reform America by : Gordon B. McKinney
Book excerpt: This title follows Henry W. Blair's remarkable political career. At the heart of his efforts was a push to improve the America's system of public education, but his reform programmes addressed a wide range of issues, including legal rights, economic rights, women's suffrage, and racial equality. He consistently supported black voting rights, introduced an antilynching bill in 1894, and worked as a lobbyist with the NAACP at the age of 80.
