Barack Obama: Working to Make a Difference

Marlene Targ Brill

4.1/5 ( ratings)

Born in Hawaii and brought up for a time in Indonesia, Barack Obama graduated from Columbia University with a degree in political science and a specialty in international relations. He worked as a community organizer in some of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods, helping church groups create job-training programs, before going on to Harvard Law School, where he graduated magna cum laude and served as the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. After law school, Obama organized one of the largest voter registration drives in Chicago history to help Bill Clinton's election, and worked as a civil rights lawyer on cutting edge voting rights and employment discrimination cases in federal and state courts. Obama is known as a man who lives by his convictions and so highly thought of that his colleagues selected him to give the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic convention.
