This shows that America is at a point where we can see black, African Americans as leaders. The nomination and subsequent election as president shows how far the status of the African American people has come since the 1950's or since the end of slavery in the United States.
Barack Obama was the first African American to receive the Democratic presidential nomination, in 2008. He won the election by about 10 million votes.
harriet Tubman, martin Luther king and martin Luther king junior, Barack Obama
Barack Obama is a little like Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Barack lacks the character Dr King had.
No because martin luther king jr died in before barack obama became president
they did not go to the same school
He didn't.
Martin Luther King Jr. could say anything to President Barack Obama. There is not a right or wrong answer.
Martin Luther King Jr. and Obama did not share the same dream. Mr. King was a Republican.
Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhit, Cesar Chavez
He changed history with his numerous peaceful protests in the most segregated areas. His march on Washington, D.C. was an impetus for change in Washington. After it, two other Civil Rights bills were passed and, albeit gradual, civil rights were achieved/ and still are being a achieved with great thanks to him. He also led to the way for other to continue his work after he was cowardly assassinated. Barack Obama wouldn't have a chance at running for the democratic party's nomination if Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn't of changed & made history.
