On 20 January, Barack Obama became America's 44th President... and the nation's first black President.
· Many americans never imagined they would see a black President. Only 50 years ago, Black leader Martin Luther King was fighting for equal rights for blacks.
· Barack Obama is of mixed race. His father was a black economist from Kenya. His mother waas a with anthropologist from Hawaii.
·Obama and his wife Michelle have to girls: Malia, age ten, and Sasha, age 7. They used to live in Chicago, Illinois. Now they live in the With House, the Presidential residence in Washington DC. Obama's family was very visible during his campaign. But Obama wants his children to live normal lives, away from the TV cameras.
"This is our moment, This is our time.. to reclaim the American dream. Yes, we can."
