Barack Obama: The Movement for Change

Every now and again America confronts its demons, walks away\nfrom deep internal division, and strives towards justice.

\n

Barack Obama: The Movement for Change tells the story of a\nvisionary leader who refuses to be limited by America’s history and\ndetermines instead to change it. His plan for change is the latest\nexpression of a movement for justice: a movement that has swept\nforward with the collective energy of great leaders like Martin\nLuther King, Robert F Kennedy, Lyndon B Johnson, Harold Washington,\nChicago’s first black Mayor, and countless others who have bent the\n‘arc of morality’ towards justice.

By looking at the biography of the man, this mixed race Hawaiian\nwith Kenyan and Kansan parents, a window on America in the\ntwenty-first century is revealed. His life touches and is touched\nby a sinking community on Chicago’s South Side. He challenges the\nlazy assumptions of American racial discourse. He creates an\nargument for political change and a different America. He wins a\npresidential election few thought possible when his formidable\ncampaign was launched.

Barack Obama: The Movement for Change tells a story for our\ntimes. It is not the story of a single man. It is the story of a\nmovement and of the people who drove the movement forward. It is a\nnew American story that will cascade down the generations. America\nhas changed and Barack Obama’s story tells us how and why and what\nwe can expect.
