Masur is author of *Until Justice Be Done: America’s First Civil Rights Movement, from the Revolution to Reconstruction* (W. W. Norton, forthcoming, 2021) and numerous other books and articles that examine the intersections of law, politics, and everyday life in U.S. history. She was part of the editorial team that created *Reconstruction: The Official National Park Service Handbook*, and she co-authored, with Gregory Downs, *The Era of Reconstruction, 1861-1900*, a National Historic Landmark Theme Study published in 2017. She was also a key consultant for the 2019 documentary, *Reconstruction: America after the Civil War*. She and Downs recently became co-editors of the “*Journal of the Civil War Era*,” published by University of North Carolina Press.

 Masur’s work has recently appeared in “*The Journal of the Civil War Era”* and the “*American Journal of Legal History*,” in volumes on the Memphis Massacre and biographical film in history, and as commentary in the *Chicago Tribune* and the *New York Times*.
