SUMMARY:The BAR Member Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Other Life of Abraham Lincoln’s Barber is a biographical narrative of that tells the story of Solomon “Sweet” Johnson\, an Underground Railroad conductor and Civil War Soldier who serves as a White House presidential guard and barber to President Lincoln before going on to a long career of public service with the US federal government and a leadership position in US black Masonry. \nSet against the backdrop of the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln’s presidency\, it describes how young Solomon’s heroic rescue of three kidnapped black boys in Columbus\, Ohio lead him into the military and ultimately to service as a White House presidential guard. A trained barber\, when the president’s personal barber dies unexpectedly\, Solomon is called on to fill the opening while continuing as a presidential guard. \nSensitive war-time conversations between Lincoln and his cabinet members overheard by Solomon as he shaves and cuts the president’s hair shape the young guard’s views on public service and the nation’s continuing failure to live out the fundamental principle of its Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal. The relationship he forms with the beleaguered war-time leader results in Solomon’s appointment as a Treasury Department clerk\, the first black office worker in the history of the US government. \nEnergized by his trailblazing new responsibilities\, and deeply troubled by the president’s assassination\, Solomon leverages his government worker status and his Masonic leadership position in the battle to preserve the gains of Reconstruction in a nation rapidly sliding back into white supremacy after the death of the Great Emancipator.
