What other US President might have had African American blood besides our President Elect?

Warren Harding. "...If the notorious historian William Estabrook Chancellor was right, we already did. In the early 1920s, Chancellor helped assemble a controversial biographical portrait accusing President Warren Harding of covering up his family’s “colored” past. According to the family tree Chancellor created, Harding was actually the great-grandson of a black woman." http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/06/magazine/06wwln-essay-t.html Nov 19 08, 10:40 PM

JUST presenting what I've found: Joel A. Rogers and Dr. Auset Bakhufu have both written books documenting that at least five former presidents of the United States had Black people among their ancestors. If one considers the fact that European men far outnumbered European women during the founding of this country, and that the rape and impregnation of an African female slave was not considered a crime, it is even more surprising that these two authors could not document Black ancestors among an ever larger number of former presidents. The president’s names include Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding, and Calvin Coolidge. http://www.geocities.com/cureworks1/5blkpres.htm Nov 20 08, 10:46 AM
