In his last sermon on the day he was killed, he hope there will be the Africa-American as the next president of United State. The racial tense between white people and black people will be better someday and live in a harmonious peaceful life. Barrack Hussein Obama made it. The first African-American as the 44th president of the United State. With the motto CHANGE, he opens the new chapter in this saga of changing American mind. But the road is ain’t easy, it is long a harrowing. Well, this is not only his story, but America too.
