You can find virtually everybody black back as far as the 1870 census. Why 1870? That's when the ex-slaves first have surnames.

Henry Louis Gates
What people forget is that the most radical thing about Obama is that he was the first black man in history to imagine that he could become president, who was able to make other Americans believe it as well. Other than that, he is a centrist, just like I try to be. He's been bridging divisions his whole life. Henry Louis Gates
