Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and InheritanceNine years before the Senate campaign that made him one of the most influential and compelling voices in American politics, Barack Obama published this lyrical, unsentimental, and powerfully affecting memoir, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller when it was reissued in 2004. Dreams from My Father tells the story of Obama’s struggle to understand the forces that shaped him as the son of a black African father and white American mother—a struggle that takes him from the American heartland to the ancestral home of his great-aunt in the tiny African village of Alego. Obama opens his story in New York, where he hears that his father—a figure he knows more as a myth than as a man—has died in a car accident. The news triggers a chain of memories as Barack retraces his family’s unusual history: the migration of his mother’s family from small-town Kansas to the Hawaiian islands; the love that develops between his mother and a promising young Kenyan student, a love nurtured by youthful innocence and the integrationist spirit of the early sixties; his father’s departure from Hawaii when Barack was two, as the realities of race and power reassert themselves; and Barack’s own awakening to the fears and doubts that exist not just between the larger black and white worlds but within himself.
Propelled by a desire to understand both the forces that shaped him and his father’s legacy, Barack moves to Chicago to work as a community organizer. There, against the backdrop of tumultuous political and racial conflict, he works to turn back the mounting despair of the inner city. His story becomes one with those of the people he works with as he learns about the value of community, the necessity of healing old wounds, and the possibility of faith in the midst of adversity.
Barack’s journey comes full circle in Kenya, where he finally meets the African side of his family and confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life. Traveling through a country racked by brutal poverty and tribal conflict, but whose people are sustained by a spirit of endurance and hope, Barack discovers that he is inescapably bound to brothers and sisters living an ocean away—and that by embracing their common struggles he can finally reconcile his divided inheritance.
A searching meditation on the meaning of identity in America, Dreams from My Father might be the most revealing portrait we have of a major American leader—a man who is playing, and will play, an increasingly prominent role in healing a fractious and fragmented nation.

Black But Not My Brother: Why I cannot vote for Barack Hussein Obama"The destiny of America will be decided November 4, 2008. It is an election bigger than McCain and Obama. It is bigger even than the historic achievement of electing the first Black President. It is about life and death. Not since the uncertain beginning of the nation has America stood in such perilous times. For Black America, our choice is between color and character. If elected America’s first Black President, Barack Huessin Obama has promised that he would use the presidency as a “bully pulpit” to promote unrestricted abortion and the homosexual agenda—both of which threaten the survival of the Black community. Ours is more about survival than party loyalty and personal economic interest. Since 1973, over 15,000,000 Black babies have been aborted creating a 25% population reduction. 1452 Black babies are aborted daily. Planned Parenthood’s genocide policy has targeted us for extinction by abortion; and it is working. Planned Parenthood’s candidate is our color. However, the real question we must face is “Can we afford a leader who champions racial suicide—even if he is Black?”Black America is being despoiled by abortion and decimated by the impact of homosexuality, especially HIV/AIDS. If we choose Mr. Obama because of his color we choose a champion for abortion and the homosexual agenda; we choose our own destruction. Intoxicated by this historic moment, we must not be blinded by color. We disregard at our peril. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. told us not to judge people, even Presidential candidates by the “color of their skin but by the content of their character.” As a people of faith, we must remember that it is not economics but righteousness that exalts a nation, Proverbs 14:34."
