X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In 1868\, the Freedmen&rsquo\;s Bureau\, a
  military organization\, was doing its utmost to protect the voting rights
  of African American males and their white allies in former Confederate st
 ates from Ku Klux Klan terrorism. Yet\, black men in most Northern and bor
 der states\, including those residents serving in the army\, did not have 
 the same right &ndash\; this would change because of the presidential elec
 tion.</p>\n<p>Join psychiatrist and author <a href="https://mcpl.aspendisc
