According to historian Leroy Vaughn, author of Black People and Their Place in World History, Barack Obama is not the first Black President of The United States.


Thomas Jefferson
Served as President from 1801 to 1809 and according to historian Leroy Vaughn was the “son of a half-bread Indian squaw and a Virginia mulatto father.”

Andrew Jackson
1829-1837
According to Vaughn Jackson was the son of an Irish woman who married a black man. His oldest brother was reportedly sold as a slave.

Abraham Lincoln
1861 to 1865
The “Great Emancipator” was said to have been the illegitimate son of an African man, according to Leroy’s findings. Lincoln had very dark skin and coarse hair and his mother allegedly came from an Ethiopian tribe.

Warren Harding
1921 to 1923
Evidently, Harding had black ancestors between both sets of parents. Harding also attended Iberia College, a school founded to educate fugitive slaves.

Calvin Coolidge
1923 to 1929
Coolidge claimed his mother was dark because of mixed Indian ancestry. Coolidge’s mother’s maiden name was “Moor” and in Europe the name “Moor” was given to all blacks just as “Negro” was used in America. It later was concluded that Coolidge was part black.

    I have often said to myself and others that President Lincoln could have been a person of color because for him to have been caucasian, his skintone was unusually dark. I thought maybe his ancestry was that of “black-irish” meaning that the land now known as Ireland was invaded by the Spanish and Portugese centuries ago, which gave meaning to “black-irish” in that the irish were enslaved and thier women were mated with the Spaniards and Portugese, giving the physical appearance of “black hair” and “dark skintone” among the multitudes of offsprings. To this day it is a little known secret among the American-Irish culture that anyone wit dark or black hair of irish descent was called a “black-irish” which is a term of degradation an discontent. I’ve heard it discussed among some of my Irish-American associates in the work-place and social settings. I also wondered if President Lincoln was a descendant of Coptic-Egyptian or Ethiopian Jew because of his “unusually dark skintone.” In all the history doc**ented about Lincoln I hve never heard any mention of his “roots”…in other words, ‘who were his parent?’ All we know is Lincoln originated out of the state of Kentucky. GOOD DISCUSSION WITH YOUR SON. GOD BLESS YOUR MINISTRY.
