One Drop

As one of my favorite subjects, (His-story), I have found that many are not familiar with documented his-story. With that being said, how many of you know that there are several (6) more people of color that were presidents than the one currently in office? I bet not many! So here is what I have found on the subject matter......most didn't want it known that they had that ONE drop because of the times they lived in. Segregation, Prejudices, Slavery, you name it. It has always been a stigma amongst the so called elite!
But truth be told there were a few known presidents that had that ONE DROP (or more).

First, overstand that Wiki's input is gathered by many people, so it's a conglomeration of info, but they try to be as accurate as they can, and look at all the sources they draw from, so let's check out what Wiki has to say:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_heritage_of_United_States_presidents


There's: Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and John Hanson who "they" say was white. (Research John Hanson).


Now check out more info on the 6 black presidents:

This is only the tip of the iceberg, this is info to keep your mind engaged, to ask MORE thought provoking questions, to go and dig, research for YOURSELF!  Don't just trust the Internet completely, or ONE book, or one person. When I say research that means to cross-reference and then cross reference the cross reference. Get up under your elders that have wisdom. Others' that may not be of your faith, knowledge is in the air we breath. But remember getting the knowledge is on thing, but getting the overstanding is quite another! 

Hotep, Namaste', Peace & Blessings!
