Barack Obama: "We Are One People"

Obama (which ends with his entry into the presidential race) highlights the candidate's early interest in politics. Formulaic design includes photos, sidebars, and boxed quotes. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind. Review covers these African-American Biography Library titles: Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Barack Obama.
