Oliver Otis Howard Knihy
Generál Oliver Otis Howard bol kariérny dôstojník americkej armády a generál Únie v americkej občianskej vojne. Známý ako „kresťanský generál“ pre svoju hlbokú náboženskú vieru, ktorá ovplyvňovala jeho politické rozhodnutia, sa ujal vedenia Úradu pre utečencov, oslobodených otrokov a opustenú krajinu. V tejto úlohe sa snažil integrovať bývalých otrokov do južanskej spoločnosti a politiky a chrániť ich pred nepriaznivými podmienkami, hoci bol opakovane frustrovaný nedostatkom právomocí. Howard bol tiež kľúčovou postavou pri presadzovaní vyššieho vzdelávania pre oslobodených otrokov, najmä založením Howardovej univerzity.
