Can easily guess why twas hidden - out to demoralise, they'd rather conceal the contrary that we've so frequently been in the top position. That's their game. Ours should be to broadcast it, reassure ourselves that we can and actually go out to can.

The Seven Black Presidents Before Barack Obama
December 1, 2008
Were There Black US Presidents before? The people thought that Barack
Obama is the first black President of the United States. Wrong.
1. John Hanson (a Moor) was actually the 1st President of the United
States, he served from 1781 – 1782 and he was black. The new country
was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles
of Confederation. This document was actually proposed on June 11,
1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777.
Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York
ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would
gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of
land).
Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the
country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which
included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential
candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the
revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress.
As President, Hanson ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as
well as removal of all foreign flags. He established the Great Seal of
the United States, which all Presidents since have been required to
use on all Official Documents. He declared that the 4th Thursday of
every November to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today. Even
though elected, one variable that was never thought through was that
America was not going to accept a Black President during the heart of
the enslavement period. Enter George Washington.
2. Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States, he
served from 1801 – 1809 and he was black. His mother a half-breed
Indian squaw and his father a mulatto (half white and half black) from
Virginia. He fathered numerous children with Sally Hemmings, a mulatto
slave with whom he lived with in Europe.
3. Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States. He
served from 1829 – 1837 and he was black. His mother was a white woman
from Ireland who had Andrew Jackson with a black man. His father's
other children (Andrew Jackson's stepbrother) was sold into slavery.
4. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, he
served from 1861 – 1865 and he was black. His mother was from an
Ethiopian Tribe and his father was an African American. It was told
that his father was Thomas Lincoln, a man to cover the truth, but he
was sterile from childhood mumps and was later castrated, making it
impossible for him to have been his father. Lincoln's nickname
"Abraham Africa-nus the First."
5. Warren Harding was the 28th President of the United States, he
served from 1921 – 1923 and he was black. Harding never denied his
ancestry. When Republican leaders called on Harding to deny his
"Negro" history, he said, "How should I know whether or not one of my
ancestors might have jumped the fence?"
6. Calvin Coolidge was the 29th President of the United States, he
served from 1923 – 1929 and he was black. He proudly admitted that his
mother was dark but claimed it was because of a mixed Indian ancestry.
His mother's maiden name was "Moor." In Europe the name "Moor" was
given to all Black people just as in America the name "Negro" was
used.
7. Dwight E. Eisenhower was the 33rd President of the United States,
he served from 1953 – 1961 and he was black. His mother, Ida Elizabeth
Stover Eisenhower, an anti-war advocate, was half black.
So, America has survived and thrived through our first Seven Black
Presidents and we will survive and THRIVE through the election of this
one!
