However, a devastating call cut his government career short: his beloved grandmother was on her deathbed. He chose to leave the White House to stay by her side. That moment led him to trace his family’s remarkable history and uncover a story of formerly enslaved ancestors who built their own community from the ground up.</p><p><br /></p><p>What the world might call too precious to lose -- a White House career for President Obama -- Green regards as secondary to his late grandmother and learned family history that was indeed, too precious to lose.</p><p><br /></p><p>Follow Jason G.
