"Most people believe that the abolitionist movement ended with the Civil War but that is not true," says Professor Richard Blackett of Vanderbilt University who shares his thoughts on the modern civil rights movement as well as details about Samuel Ringold Ward, an obscure but important 19th-century labor leader and abolitionist whom he just published a book about.
