Description
Born to a white mother and an African father, Barack Obama struggled to understand his place in the world. He found it in the gritty streets of South Side Chicago. There, his talent as a community organizer made him a voice for the voiceless. As his voice grew stronger, he rose from the Illinois State Senate to the U.S. Senate. In 2009, he became the first African American President of the United States. Obamas story is that of the American Dream, where hard work and big dreams find one answer: Yes We Can.
