Description
  1. vii, 310 pages; 24 cm
Summary
  1. "While white Americans were evenly divided about Bill Clinton's impeachment, ninety percent of African Americans opposed it. Now from a founding member of the National Association of Black Journalists comes a new book that explores the deep and unique connection between the former president and the black community - in the words of journalists, celebrities, academics, and other thoughtful Americans.".
  2. "Going beyond mere TV punditry, luminaries such as Mary Frances Berry, Bill Gray, Kweisi Mfume, and Alice Randall, as well as ordinary citizens, offer insight into why African Americans for the first time saw themselves in the soul of a president - whether it was the large African American presence in Clinton's administration, his perceived persecutions, Clinton's personal style, or his lasting yet tumultuous marriage - and why that kinship has sweeping cultural implications.
  3. Bill Clinton's actions, associations, and essence are all analyzed in light of their effect on and appeal to this crucial constituency."--BOOK JACKET.
