Oliver Otis Howard Livres
Le général Oliver Otis Howard fut un officier de carrière de l'armée des États-Unis et un général de l'Union pendant la guerre de Sécession américaine. Connu comme le "général chrétien" pour sa profonde piété religieuse qui guidait ses décisions politiques, il prit la direction du Freedmen's Bureau. Dans ce rôle, il chercha à intégrer les anciens esclaves dans la société et la politique du Sud, tentant de les protéger des conditions hostiles malgré une frustration répétée due à son manque d'autorité. Howard fut également une figure clé dans la promotion de l'enseignement supérieur pour les affranchis, notamment en fondant la Howard University.
