Warren G. Harding US President 29 (Death by Blackness)
Description:
Warren G. Harding (Death by Blackness) depicts Harding's life as my family knew it. While growing up, we were never allowed to talk about the relationship to a US President outside of family gatherings because we were "Colored" and Warren was "passing." In 1884 he was a teacher at the local "Colored school" in Marion, Ohio, until he crossed the color line and became the 29th President of the US. Biographies written about Harding are quick to note his parents were descendants of Ohio pioneer families with English and dutch ancestry when, in reality, both of his parents were negroes whose ancestors escaped through the Underground Railroad. this book will set the record straight. Few have come forth to tell the truth. The Internet Encyclopedias reference Warren G. Harding's Blackness openly, to surprise, in view of the fact his Negro ancestry has been squelched by the government and his immediate family members. Moreover, he may have lost his life because of it.
