This essay examines American exceptionalism and the African American response to it, from Phillis Wheatley to W. E. B. Du Bois. The author argues that African Americans formed a double exceptionalism that is most clearly evident in the way that they remember and revise the legacies of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson
