Barack Obama: Yes We Can

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last 20 years, you know that Barack Obama was the United States’ 44th president for two terms from January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2017. Before being elected president, Obama served half a term as US Senator from the state of Illinois, and as a member of the Illinois Senate from January 8, 1997 to November 4, 2004.

Of course, what made Obama’s run historic, and made him a genuine Black hero to millions of Americans, was the fact that he became the United States’ first Black president. Born to a White American mother and a Kenyan father on August 4, 1961, Obama certainly didn’t seem “destined” to be the future president of the United States.
