All Urban Legend?
The first Black president was chosen unanimously and unchallenged by the Continental Congress, which included George Washington's vote! But this aint him...Photography wasn't invented yet...
The myth goes that on back of the $2 bill has an engraving of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In the image is a man who has dark skin and wearing a powdered wig while sitting at the table just to the left of the men standing in the center of the engraving. This dark skinned man is John Hanson in his position as president of the continental congress. In the original painting hanging in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, he does not appear as US history tries to exclude him.
JOHN HANSON was the first President of the United States and served from 1781-1782. George Washington was really the 8th President of the United States and Barack technically would not be the first? Or is it Robert Morris? You decide...
Barack 08'
