...Ghana, Annan's father is still revered. His name was Henry Reginald Annan--the first and middle names were a legacy of British colonialism, when ambitious Africans named their children as if they were bound for Oxford. Annan happens to be a sturdy Scottish name, and from time to time business associates believed that H.R. Annan was a Highlander--until they met him.

Moore's story is not unique, and while the Secret Service spokespeople point to a number of blacks and women in leadership positions (of seven assistant directors, two are black and one is a woman), this lawsuit...
