THIS IS OUR MOMENT
"This is our time--to put people back to work and open doors of
opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the
cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that
fundamental truth--that out of many, we are one; that while we
breathe, we hope; and where we are met with cynicism and doubt, and
those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless
creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can."
-- President Barack Obama, Acceptance Speech; Chicago, IL;
November 4, 2008
Born in the U.S.A., the son of an African father and an American
mother, a boy who spent his childhood in Indonesia and Hawaii,
Barack Obama is truly a citizen of the world. In kindergarten, he
wrote an essay titled, "I Want to Become President," and now, with
his fierce optimism, exuberant sense of purpose and determination,
and above all, his belief that change "can" happen, Barack Obama,
the first African-American president of the United States, has made
that dream come true.
Garen Thomas takes us through the life of Barack Obama, from his
struggle to fit in with his classmates, and concern about not
knowing his biological father, through his term as an Illinois
senator, and the long campaign for president, to his historic
victory.
