Description
It was in Chicago, Barack Obama's adopted hometown, that the 24-year-old future President of the United States began a personal and political odyssey that would take him all the way to the White House. In this program, many of the people who have known Obama best since his arrival in Chicago offer their insights. Obama's work as a community organizer, his achievements at Harvard Law School, the writing of Dreams from My Father, his brief stints as a law professor at The University of Chicago and as a civil rights lawyer, and his meteoric political career are all discussed. The program ends with Obama's victory in the 2008 primaries and his speech on the issue of race in the wake of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's controversial "God Damn America" sermon. Additional portions of Obama oratory are included throughout.
