That the first president was John Hanson and that he was black are both urban legends.

The man did exist, and he did play an important role in US history, but he was not a President, as that post did not yet exist in his time. The man was not black.

His father was an indentured servant but never a slave and never black.

There are many websites that can actually give you the facts, but the truth is that you should really read about this guy in a history book. D. Gregory also should also have done that before writing the article that created this legend.

I believe no. As long as the Us national palace is called the "white House", no black candidate will stand a chance. read more >
