What Obama Means: for Our Culture, Our Politics, Our Future By Jabari Asim

Publisher: HarperCollins, 2009    ISBN-13: 9780061711336

Written by the editor-in-chief of the NAACP's "The Crisis" magazine, What Obama Means for Our Culture, Our Politics, Our Future is a celebration of the developments that paved the way for America's readiness to elect its first African-American president. Looking at figures like Tiger Woods, Denzel Washington, Bill Cosby, Jesse Jackson, and others from sports, music, movies, television and politics, Asim shows how these people had helped to shape modern society. With a keen eye on the culture of the day, this is an interesting look at how Obama's charisma and cool helped to transform the nation.
