Obama Sworn In for 2nd Term, This Time Quietly
The ability to better yourself and your loved ones is a part
of the multiple meanings and interpretations of the American Dream. Not even
100 years ago people where being discriminated based on race, and sex. Everyone
seemed to need to hate someone else and a majority of the time it's based on
race. From the beginning African Americans and other inferior races struggled
for the right to practically live. Since then they have fought for equal
rights, to be respected, and to be able to have the same chances as the next
guy. In America there is a since of hope, where you are able to achieve what
you desire, and what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the
best. That is the American Dream. From what they may say is a rags to riches
story, the African American community climbed the ladder of equality and success
because of the since of Hope, the American dream. This past month President Obama made history when he took the oath of office for a second time this year.
The nation’s first black president
embodies hope and change for many Americans at this time of financial struggle
and war. In this article it discusses his term, but I feel like he is a perfect
example of the success and victory that the race achieved with the belief that
anything is possible, and a since of hope.
