4. Describe what it's like for men like Hiram Rebels and Joseph Rainey to represent their people in Congress?

Joseph Hayne Rainey (21 de junio de 1832 - 1 de agosto de 1887) fue un político estadounidense.

Su servicio incluyó el tiempo como presidente de la Cámara de Representantes. Nacido como esclavo en Carolina del Sur , él y su familia fueron liberados en la década de 1840 cuando su padre compró su libertad. Revels y Rainey eran miembros del Partido Republicano

Explanation:

It was a proud moment to have people of color represented in Congress because it made us feel like our voice really mattered and that we would have somebody that could relate to us as well as have the same struggle as us so that we can find a change to the struggle.

according to the quotation from booker t. washington's 1895 atlanta compromise speech.

in the great leap from slavery to freedom . . the masses of us are to live by the production of our hands . . we shall prosper . . as we learn to dignify and glorify common labor.

washington believed that  hard work had its own kind of dignity.
