Reconstruction

Rep. Jeremiah Haralson
     Came across this photo of a black Alabama Reconstruction-era Congressman who's death caught my eye. He was killed "by a wild animal" in Colorado in 1877. But Congressman Jeremiah Haralson's life was equally interesting!
     For example: he had been a slave, but was friends with Jefferson Davis!
