During this lab and the lab next Friday, you will be creating an online poster about one of the black legislators that served during Reconstruction. You can choose any African American legislator that served during the Reconstruction period. Visit this Wikipedia site to get some ideas for possible legislators.

On your poster, you need to include the following information:

• A picture or painting of your legislator
• At least four links to different websites that contain information about your legislator (only one of these links can be from Wikipedia. Look for other sources of information online!)
  
• Facts and important information about your legislator. Include facts about:
  
• which state your legislature is from,
  
• their personal history,
  
• the years they served as legislatures,
  
• what your legislator accomplished during their term,
  
• the reaction of the south to your legislator,
  
• how their term ended
• anything else you find interesting about this person
