Barack Obama is the first African-American president, and he is currently still in the White House; he was elected in 2008 and re-elected in 2012. His mother was a Caucasian college student; she was born in Kansas but later lived in Washington state and then Hawaii; she ultimately became an anthropologist. His father was a Kenyan senior governmental economist. President Obama is the first US with any certain African ancestry. ( There was a rumor that Harding's great-great-grandfather was black, but Harding's family denied it and genealogists have not turned up any evidence that it is true. )

While true, the above answer is "politically incorrect". The "first black president" was undeniably William Jefferson Clinton, aka Bill Clinton.

∙ 7y agoBarack Obama is the first truly African-American since his father was African
and his mother was a white American. He is the first with any known African ancestry. (Usually this term is used for black Americans who are descended from slaves brought to this country many years ago, and do not like the old term of Negro or Colored. ) No other US president has any known African ancestry.
*According to Toni Morrison it was Bill Clinton: although Clinton is white, Morrison and many other African-Americans praised Clinton for being very supportive of civil rights, and they jokingly made him an honorary black person.
