Black History The Five Negro Presidents According to What White People Said

Description

Joel Augustus Rogers' book "The Five Negro Presidents: According to What White People Said They Were" examines the alleged African ancestry of five U.S. presidents: William Henry Harrison, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Zachary Taylor, and Abraham Lincoln. Rogers' claims are based on historical documents, newspaper articles, and personal accounts that he gathered over many years. He argues that these five presidents had African ancestors, and that their mixed-race heritage was often discussed and debated in their lifetimes.
