Résumé
A new anthology celebrating the African American voices that influenced and shaped the history of the White HouseA Penguin ClassicThe People's House is an anthology comprised primarily of first-person accounts, from the eighteenth century to the present, detailing the Black experience in the White House - in turn illustrating how African Americans have influenced the presidency and policy over America's 250-year history.
The collection's diversity of perspectives - from dressmakers and domestic staff members to abolitionists and civil rights activists, as well as cabinet members, candidates, and elected officials - charts not only a history of African Americans in the most recognizable U. S. institution, but how African Americans have used their power and presence in the White House to urge the nation toward its democratic ideals.
Through the words of Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Thurgood Marshall, Shirley Chisholm, Colin M. Powell, Barack Obama, and dozens of other figures, both prominent and lesser-known, this anthology offers an expansive and intimate view of the White House as a key site in the struggle for Black freedom and equal citizenship. Each entry is accompanied by insight from editors Michelle D. Commander and Kathleen M.
