Dear Librarian:



            Devault-Graves Digital Editions is proud to announce the re-publication of a book of great importance

            to the literary canon for Black History Month.  The book is Black Man in the White House by E. Frederic

            Morrow, the first African American to serve in a president's administration.  Morrow had distinguished

            himself before he worked in Dwight Eisenhower's presidential campaign, but he impressed the President-

            Elect enough that Eisenhower hired him as Administrative Officer for Special Projects from 1955-61.



            Black Man in the White House is Morrow's memoir of his years in The White House, crucial years for

            the struggle for civil rights.  Originally published in 1963 and out of print for 50 years, Morrow's recollections

            in Black Man in the White House are masterfully written, colorful, and filled with the day-to-day intrigue and

            behind-the-scenes office politics associated with the most powerful executive office in the world.



            This book is especially important in the history of civil rights because Morrow was instrumental in gently

            pushing the ever-cautious president into an acceptance of the plight of black Americans and into meeting

            with leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King. In the book Morrow discusses his triumphs and disappointments

            with candor, wit, and an unswerving devotion to the America he believed in.



            Black Man in the White House, back in print as an ebook after 50 years of being unavailable, is an excellent choice

            for Black History Month studies. This annotated edition of the book features extensive end notes to aid students

            and a touching afterword essay written by journalist Les Smith.



            Black Man in the White House is available as an ebook from all ebook retailers for only $9.99.  Black History Month

            students will find this book a delight and a profound learning experience.
