Description
This book reviews the American presidency, showcasing all of the American presidents, their basic identities, and their roles in Black life. Each concise examination shows how each president addressed the long history of racial segregation, racial injustice, and human prejudice against blacks in America. The chronological chapter presentation of every President emphasizes the respective dimensions of each president and his impact on Black people. The American presidents who took a full-length approach to addressing issues of Black oppression, discrimination, and struggle are highlighted. In addition, the author reveals the non-considerate leadership of many other presidents toward Black existence. This book offers a breadth of perspectives of the ongoing racial challenges facing America under each president. This book can be used as a supplement or an adjunct text for courses in Political Science, African American-centered Psychology, Sociology, or Racial and Ethnic Studies.
