It cannot be said with certainty that Frederick Douglass was the first African American invited to the White House. Certainly Douglass was the first African American **leader** invited for a formal interview, or audience, with the President.
He was white. Obama was the first African American to become president.
The president lived in the white house and plants lived in the green house
The first black president of Mexico was Vicente Ramon Guerrero. This was in 1829 and he was the second president of Mexico. He was actually of Indian, African and white European descent.
Our current White House occupant, Mr. Obama, is certainly Black.
Slavery is considered the black eye on George Washington's White House. He brought nine of his personal slaves to the President's residence.
The first and only African-American president in the US is Barack Obama. President Bill Clinton was jokingly called "America's first black president" because he had many black friends and promoted policies that helped black people, but Mr. Clinton was white. Barack Obama is in fact African-American, and when he was elected in 2008, he became the country's first black president.
Yes and no. Yes Barrack Obama is the first US president, but no he is not the first BLACK president. There has been many black presidents of the countries in Africa. ============================ Obama is the first US president with any major black ancestry. He father was a native black African but his mother was white, so he is as much white as black. However he seems to prefer to think of himself as black. ============================ Because it is seem to say that if you have a drop of black (african) blood in you you are said to be black.
