NBN Book of the Day - Holly A. Pinheiro Jr., “The Families’ Civil War: Black Soldiers and the Fight for Racial Justice” (U Georgia Press, 2022)

The Families' Civil War: Black Soldiers and the Fight for Racial Justice (U Georgia Press, 2022) tells the stories of freeborn northern African Americans in Philadelphia struggling to maintain families while fighting against racial discrimination. Taking a long view, from 1850 to the 1920s, Holly A. Pinheiro Jr. shows how Civil War military service worsened already difficult circumstances due to its negative effects on family finances, living situations, minds, and bodies. At least seventy-nine thousand African Americans served in northern USCT regiments. Many, including most of the USCT veterans examined here, remained in the North and constituted a sizable population of racial minorities living outside the former Confederacy.

In The Families’ Civil War, Holly A. Pinheiro Jr. provides a compelling account of the lives of USCT soldiers and their entire families but also argues that the Civil War was but one engagement in a longer war for racial justice. By 1863 the Civil War provided African American Philadelphians with the ability to expand the theater of war beyond their metropolitan and racially oppressive city into the South to defeat Confederates and end slavery as armed combatants. But the war at home waged by white northerners never ended.

Civil War soldiers are sometimes described together as men who experienced roughly the same thing during the war. However, this book acknowledges how race and class differentiated men’s experiences too. Pinheiro examines the intersections of gender, race, class, and region to fully illuminate the experiences of northern USCT soldiers and their families.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - What Texas Can’t Forget

One tragedy replaces another in the headlines—that’s just how things go. 


The Texas state legislature isn’t scheduled to convene until January 2023, when the shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde will no longer be fresh in people’s minds, and the momentum for changing Texas’s gun laws will be long gone. One state senator, however, won’t accept that.


Guest: Roland Gutierrez, Democratic Texas State Senator for District 19, which includes Uvalde.

The Daily Signal - Her Pro-Life Center Was Attacked by Pro-Abortion Thugs. She Fears It’s ‘Going to Get Worse.’

Across the nation, pregnancy resource centers are under fire. Pro-abortion radicals are increasingly vandalizing these safe havens for women experiencing unplanned pregnancies, smashing their windows, spray-painting vulgarities on their walls, and even firebombing them.

The most recent target of this senseless violence and vandalism by pro-abortion extremists was the Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center in Lynchburg, Virginia, which was hit early Saturday morning.

Susan Campbell, the center's executive director, is incredibly disheartened by what happened.

"We're a service that's well-known, and so our community is loving and kind and supports us at every level. We were shocked to be the target of the vandalism," she says. "We were the only center in Virginia that was hit [after Roe v. Wade was overturned], and we were just deeply saddened by that."

Regrettably, Campbell doesn't think that her center will be the last to be vandalized.

"I don't think that it's going to stop, and I think that it's only going to get worse from here, simply because of the overturning of Roe v. Wade," Campbell says. "But we've been praying for this for a long time, and we're not intimidated or dissuaded from our mission."

Campbell joins the show to share her story and offer a message of hope to those mothers and mothers-to-be looking for assistance in what can be the toughest time in their lives.

We also cover these stories:

  • Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra says "every option is on the table" when asked about whether abortion clinics could be set up on federal lands in states with strict anti-abortion laws.
  • President Joe Biden responds to criticism that his policies on border security led to the deaths of 50 illegal immigrants whose bodies were discovered in a sweltering tractor-trailer in San Antonio.
  • Hillary Clinton criticizes Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
