From New York Times best-selling author Elizabeth Dowling Taylor comes this riveting chronicle of a critical yet overlooked chapter in American history: the inspiring rise and calculated fall of the Black elite, from Emancipation through Reconstruction to the Jim Crow Era - embodied in the experiences of an influential figure of the time, academic, entrepreneur, and political activist and Black history pioneer Daniel Murray.

This cultural biography tells the enthralling story of the high-achieving Black elites who thrived in the nation's capital during Reconstruction. Daniel Murray (1851-1925), an assistant librarian at the Library of Congress, was a prominent member of this glorious class. Murray's life was reflective of those who were well-off at the time.

This social circle included African American educators, ministers, lawyers, doctors, entrepreneurs, US senators and representatives, and other government officials. Among the luminaries were Francis and Archibald Grimke, Blanche Bruce, Pinckney Pinchback, Robert and Mary Church Terrell, Booker T. Washington, and W. E. B. DuBois.

The elite were primed to assimilate into the cultural fabric as Americans first and people of color second. Education was a pearl of great pride, and they sent their children to the best schools - Phillips Academy, Cornell, and Harvard. They belonged to exclusive clubs, cultivated genteel manners, owned opulent homes, threw elaborate parties, dressed to the nines, and summered in special enclaves.

The rug was pulled from under all African Americans when they were betrayed by the federal government as the cost of reconciliation with the South. In response to renewed oppression, Murray and others in his class fought back, establishing themselves as inspiring race activists.

Elizabeth Dowling Taylor's powerful work brings to light a dark chapter of race relations that too many have yet to own.

It was a very interesting listen. I was not aware of the history of Black Washington, DC and I really enjoyed the narration. I would definitely recommend.

This was a very in depth and informative book. It is very refreshing to learn about our rich history and heritage. Must read!!!

A beautiful book that’s shares the stories of black people and the history of the creation of traditions, literary works, organizations, legislation, and communities post slavery. A historical guide or potential prediction of the recent 2023 Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe vs Wade and Affirmative Action. A great read and I’d recommend to anyone.

A beautiful must read of Black people

The Original Black Elite is a profound historical story that has been shared and is to be shared with all generations of Americans to show that color is not the default mark for intelligence, class, or ingenuity.
Read and share this book.
Thank you

The American Story that not been told

This was such an interesting book. I really enjoyed it. This era’s story definitely deserved to be told. I can’t help but wonder, as a Black American, how the race would’ve been catalyzed if Reconstruction wasn’t rolled back.

Excellent Book

This was a very informative read on the life of Daniel Murray and provided many valuable insights into the lives and experiences of the black elite. The experiences of the black elite are often overlooked or not considered in history and this book helped bring that perspective to the forefront. Although this book does not cover everything that took place during that time, it does show the varied and changing experiences of wealthy Black individuals over the course of a person's lifetime.

Very informative read

Did not like ‘almost’ sequential chronological presentation of historical events but I liked the information presented in the grand scheme of historical
experiences of one black family and one man (Daniel Murray) at a marker in time after the civil war.

It was an very interesting read . The aspect of culture and the elegance thereof is longed missed within our culture at this time. The selflessness is also missed.
