Annotation |
These diaries cover eight years in the life of Chesnutt, an African American who became a lawyer, a businessman, and an author. Beginning as a student in 1874, he records the details of his daily life along with his love of education, his hopes for a career, and his frustration with the lack of opportunity for educated blacks in the South during the Reconstruction.
