The forgotten but essential story of how President Lincoln welcomed African Americans to his White House in our nation's most divided and war-torn era. Jonathan White illuminates why Lincoln's then-unprecedented welcome of African Americans to the White House transformed the trajectory of race relations in the United States. From his 1862 meetings with Black Christian ministers, Lincoln began inviting African Americans of every background to his home, from ex-slaves from the Deep South to champions of abolitionism such as Frederick Douglass.

Drawing from an array of primary sources, White reveals how Lincoln used the White House as the stage to amplify African American voices.
