I happen to be working a booth at the Midwest Black Family Reunion, for my Sorority and came across this book. I it address some many issue than just becoming The President. The book starts off with a young boy crying because he said he wanted to be President some day and the other kids were laughing. The story and the illustrations go hand in hand. The story keeps the children's attention. It tells about his journey and struggle to the white and lets children know that they can be what ever they want to be as long as they put their minds to it.
this directly correlates to the first speaker in the video for class. I am also a firm believer in success not having a race or color. People are successful based on their dedication not race.
ReplyDeleteRace is not the entire factor of being successful or not but you cannot rule it out. If you refrain from taking the struggle for equality in this country you disrespect
ReplyDeleteeveryone who has fought, still fighting. Barack
Obama made it because he is one of the
smartest and in spite of the unlevel playing
field. He had the opportunity and everyone
does not have that same opportunity, this country didnt want him to have it and that
places like aunties kids can give children a
needed foundation. The struggle continues
