The Black McCains




TEOC, Miss. -- Lillie McCain is watching the presidential campaign from a singular perspective.
A 56-year-old psychology professor whose family spans five
generations from the enslavement of her great-great-grandparents to her
own generation's fight for civil rights, Ms. McCain appreciates the
social changes that have opened the way for Sen. Barack Obama to be the
first major-party black contender for the White House.

WSJ's Douglas Blackmon speaks with Charles McCain Jr. and his sister Mary
McCain Fluker, descendants of slaves held at the Mississippi plantation
owned by the family of Sen. John McCain's great-great-grandfather.
(Oct. 16)

But she also has an uncommon view on
another American passage. Ms. McCain and her siblings are descended
from two of about 120 slaves held before the end of the Civil War at
Teoc, the Mississippi plantation owned by the family of Republican
nominee John McCain's great-great-grandfather.
