Activist Margaret Kimberley provides a fearless and scathing recounting of the racist attitudes, words, and actions (or inactions) of each United States president. The short portrait of each president spotlights the racism that has always permeated American society. It is not Kimberly’s intent to provide a balanced view of American presidents but to counter the imbalance that has been perpetuated by presidential historians and American mythmakers. This book will be an uncomfortable read for white Americans but is a necessary one. It is only by confronting and acknowledging the truth of racism that the nation can heal and unite.

Throughout the history of the United States, numerous presidents have been remembered as slaveholders, bigots and inciters of racial violence, but were leaders generally regarded as more sympathetic to the plight and interests of black Americans really much better? And what of all the presidents whose interactions with black America are hardly considered at all? Over the course of 45 chapters Kimberley examines the condition of black America through the attitudes and actions of the highest elected official in the country.
