Wil Haygood

Wil Haygood, a renowned reporter for the Washington Post, had a premonition that Barack Obama would win the 2008 election, and when he did, he wanted to publish an article about a black person who had served in the White House.

This person had grown up when segregation was so pervasive and deeply ingrained in society that the idea of a black president was unthinkable. When he found Eugene Allen, a butler who had served no fewer than eight presidents, from Harry Truman to Ronald Reagan, he struck gold.
