Assignment 4

Before this picture was taken, the American presidents have only been of one race: white.  This picture shows President Obama and his wife and children in 2008.  He changed the stereotype for a president.  This event made national news, not only because we had a new leader but because he was black.  This had major implications for the black community of America.  Though we had already gone through the Civil Rights Movement in the 60s, there were still invisible walls holding back the black community from complete equality.  Once Obama was brought into office, it became clear that the blacks of America really can do anything that whites can do.
