The black man's president : Abraham Lincoln, African Americans, & the pursuit of racial equality

Burlingame, Michael

Details

Summary: Frederick Douglass called the martyred president "emphatically the black man's president” as well as “the first who rose above the prejudice of his times and country.” This narrative history of Lincoln’s personal interchange with Black people over the course his career reveals a side of the sixteenth president that, until now, has not been fully explored or understood.
