John Mitchell Jr Vs. Reconstruction Era Virginia NAWG: A History Podcast with Brittany Faulkner

John Mitchell Jr. was the "Fighting Editor" that devoted his professional career to attacking and challenging racial violence and prejudice. He grew up in Reconstruction  Era Virginia. It was a time of conflict as everyone adjusted to life post-civil war, and most importantly post-slavery.
