Il est la grande voix philosophique de l’Amérique noire. Ce professeur à Princeton associe l’héritage des penseurs pragmatiques et la ferveur du prêcheur. Disciple de Martin Luther King se définissant comme “chrétien révolutionnaire”, il a soutenu Obama il y a quatre ans, avant de déchanter bruyamment. Activiste proche du mouvement Occupy Wall Street, c’est aussi un penseur exigeant dont les arguments frappent comme une mélopée free-jazz.
The above photo is of the dynamic writer and historian Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA, Historian and author of BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY, a breathtaking look at what really happened in our shared past. A successful ophthalmologist by trade, Dr. Vaughn's book gives the reader a new vision and empowerment about the hidden truths in history like who were the other 5 Black US Presidents, what really happened on Black Wall Street and and look at the powerful service given by Blacks in the Military. The truth is liberating. I emailed Dr. Leroy Vaughn today asking his response to a couple of WIKI pages folks put up on the book his book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_People_and_Their_Place_in_History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_heritage_of_United_States_presidents Here's Dr. Vaughn's response to the above Wiki pages "I WROTE WIKEPEDIA A LONG TIME AGO AND THANKED THEM FOR MENTIONING OUR BOOK. I SAIL I WAS AMAZED THAT THEY ONLY DISPUTED ONE CHAPTER OUT OF THE DOZENS THAT WERE WRITTEN. I TOLD THEM THAT ONE DROP OF LINCOLN'S BLOOD OR THE BLOOD OF ANY OF THE OTHER 43 PRESIDENTS COULD SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IN LESS THAN A DAY. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT HAVING SO CALLED PROFESSIONAL HISTORIANS COMMENT DOES NOT MAKE THE INFORMATION ANY LESS ACCURATE." I agree. Thanks Dr. Vaughn. If you're ready for a breathtaking journey into the truth in history, I urge you to read the evolutionary book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY by Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA, Historian and African Chief.
