Though not blind to Abraham Lincoln's imperfections, Black
Americans long ago laid a heartfelt claim to his legacy. At the
same time, they have consciously reshaped the sixteenth president's
image for their own social and political ends. Frederick Hord and
Matthew D. Norman's anthology explores the complex nature of views
on Lincoln through the writings and thought of Frederick Douglass,
Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Mary McLeod Bethune, Thurgood Marshall,
Malcolm X, Gwendolyn Brooks, Barbara Jeanne Fields, Barack Obama,
and dozens of others. The selections move from speeches to letters
to book excerpts, mapping the changing contours of the
bond--emotional and intellectual--between Lincoln and Black
Americans over the span of one hundred and fifty years. A
comprehensive and valuable reader, Knowing Him by Heart examines
Lincoln's still-evolving place in Black American thought.
