With many people expecting Barack Obama to become our nation's 44th President, it's time to take a look at Black Presidents in history. The examples that most people think of are from movies and comical, but mixed amongst these is a video whose contents may surprise many of you. Barack wouldn't be the United States' first Black President should he be elected come November...but maybe the sixth. Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Calvin Coolidge, Warren Harding and Abraham Lincoln may have all had black ancestry. Watch the videos--I laughed and learned something.
