The Other Madisons: The Lost History of a President’s Black Family 

byBettye Kearse

Focused on the Lost History of a President’s Black Family, The Other Madisons brings Bettye Kearse's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
