Dreams From My Father by Barack Obama

Obama recollects the feelings which followed the passing of his father, the troubles of grassroots community-organization, and racial identity. Feeling somewhat distant from his father who was quite accomplished despite racism, Obama meditates on his roots. He retraces his roots to his father, his grandmother, and his grandfather. the author offers an educated perspective on civil rights, civil liberties, race, and the democratic process. he also shares his experience with loss, adversity, and family. -Camden B.
