A Taxing History of Racism Trevon Logan
What impact did Black politicians have during the Reconstruction? In episode 77, Trevon Logan from The Ohio State University's Department of Economics discusses his research into the election of Black politicians after the Civil War ended in 1865, which led to increased tax revenues that were put toward public schools and land ownership reform. White Southerners, however, reversed that progress just 12 years later, augmenting the systematic disenfranchisement of African Americans that remains today. His open-access article "Do Black politicians matter? Evidence from Reconstruction,\u201d was published in March of 2020 in The Journal of Economic History.\n\nA Taxing History of Racism - Trevon LoganA Taxing History of Racism - Trevon LoganA Taxing History of Racism - Trevon Logan\xa0A Taxing History of Racism - Trevon LoganA Taxing History of Racism - Trevon LoganA Taxing History of Racism - Trevon Logan {{svg_share_icon}}Click bottom of waveform to add your commentsSubscribe: iTunes | Google Podcasts | Google Play | Spotify | RSS jQuery(document).ready(function ($){var settings_ap7597 = { design_skin: "skin-wave" ,autoplay: "off",disable_volume:"default" ,loop:"off" ,cue: "on" ,embedded: "off" ,preload_method:"metadata" ,design_animateplaypause:"default" ,skinwave_dynamicwaves:"off" ,skinwave_enableSpectrum:"off" ,skinwave_enableReflect:"on",playfrom:"off",default_volume:"default",disable_scrub:"off",soundcloud_apikey:"" ,skinwave_comments_enable:"on",settings_php_handler:window.ajaxurl,skinwave_mode:"alternate",skinwave_wave_mode:"canvas",pcm_data_try_to_generate: "on","pcm_notice": "off","notice_no_media": "on",design_color_bg: "111111",design_color_highlight: "FF4C65",skinwave_wave_mode_canvas_waves_number: "3",skinwave_wave_mode_canvas_waves_padding: "1",skinwave_wave_mode_canvas_reflection_size: "0.25",skinwave_wave_mode_canvas_mode:"normal",preview_on_hover:"off",skinwave_comments_playerid:"7597",embed_code:""\n,enable_embed_button:"on",php_retriever:"https://www.parsingscience.org/wp-content/plugins/dzs-zoomsounds/soundcloudretriever.php" }; try{ dzsap_init(".ap_idx_7597_201",settings_ap7597); }catch(err){ console.warn("cannot init player", err); } }); \n\xa0\nWebsites and other resources\n\n\t\n\n\tTrevon's website and Twitter\n\tThread on Reddit's r/science forum regarding this research\n\tInterview with Trevon on Question Lane podcast about this study\n\tArticle in OSU's student paper The Lantern on Trevon's NBER paper\n\tColumbia University & Slavery project's "William Archibald Dunning: Father of historiographic racism Columbia\u2019s legacy of academic Jim Crow"\n\tTrevon's TEDxColumbus discussion on residential segregation:\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InPU6sg0cqo\n\xa0\n\n\xa0\n\xa0\n\n div.altmetric-embed {flex-shrink: 2; -webkit-flex-shrink: 2;} \n\xa0\n\ufeff\n\nBonus Clips\n\n\nClips available include ...\nFull episode with available download\nPrior work on segregation & lynchings\nDataset on Black politicians\nW.E.B.
