Presidency in Black and White - My Up-Close View of Three Presidents and Race in America

Informationen zum Autor By April Ryan - Foreword by Hon. Elijah Cummings Klappentext 2016 NAACP Image Award Nominee, Essence Top 10 books of 2015, African American Literary Show Inc. 2015 Best Non Fiction Award The Presidency in Black and White gives readers a compelling behind-the-scenes look at race relations from the epicenter of American power and policy making--the White House, April Ryan's beat since 1997. Ryan tells us what it was like for a pioneering African American female reporter to become a respected member of the White House press corps, one of the great old boy networks in the nation's capital. She also offers unique insights into the presidencies of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, evaluating both their leadership on race issues and presenting deeply personal and sometimes surprising portraits of each President. With humor, grace, and determination, April shares the highs and lows of a sometimes lonely battle, to keep questions of race and the lives of her inner-city listeners on the national stage.
