Provides insights into P. B. S. Pinchback (1837–1921), the first African American governor in the United States. His stint as governor of Louisiana was brief—a mere thirty-five days—but he remains one of the most prominent officeholders who worked feverishly to nurture a democratized environment that made minorities the political and social equals of white Louisianans.
