Book 50 Dreams from My Father **** by Barack Obama

An amazing book, original and fresh look at race in America.   Obama's life story up until he became a senator.   A clear insightful look at the boy, the youth, the young man, who could have ruined his life many times, or followed the path of his family members, for the most part, not successful, with many problems of their own making and imposed by circumstances.   His portraits of his grandparents, father, and many other family members are full of insight.  The only blurry figure is that of his mother.
