What is Black Americans In Congress (black Americans In Politics) about?
<p>African-Americans play an important role in the decisions made in Washington, D.C.. J.C. Watts was just elected by Republicans to the 4th-highest post in the House of Representatives. But how many have actually served in Congress... and when... and where did they come from, how did they reach Congress, and what did they do while there?</p> <p>This book chronicles the achievements of African-Americans in our national government, from the very first to the present. Learn of their successes and failures, tragedies and triumphs, on the way to making the decisions in our national government that affect hundreds of millions of lives daily. Read not just about what they do, but who they are - beyond drab stories in the media defined by limited space and narrow interests. Read of their lives, and how their decisions make us the America we are.</p>
