false 5781637 1 <br><br><b>Barack Obama, rock star, the new "Jubilee", a prophecy fulfilled, the hope of a people forgotten or a man whose time has come: you will be the judge.</b><br><br>I was inspired to write this book when I realized that Senator Hillary Clinton, a woman, and Senator Barack Obama, a Black American, had a very good chance to become, for the first time in history, the nominee for the Democratic Party and candidate for the Presidency of the United States.<br><br>It was the first time in history that candidates from two groups that had to fight for their rights as citizens of this country had reached that level. However, as I watched closely, I began to realize that the true person for this giant task, at this particular time was Senator Barack Obama. He brought a different flavor and sense of commitment to this presidential campaign that no one else in the past has been able to do.<br><br>In this book, I attempt to demonstrate that every time a Black American has broken down barriers and succeeded in his or her career, it has only made America better. I want America to see that Black Americans have always had to run from the back of the pack in order to get to the front and achieve success; but each time they have run and won, America has become greater. I want Black Americans to believe in their history and believe that America can support a Black American for President, especially one who believes in all Americans, regardless of race or ethnicity. I believe that Barack Obama's time is now. He is the new "Jubilee"; a leader, ready and able to lead America. 5953569 16 9 2008 The Last Shall Be The First total:1|4:1| 1 4 3 1 4 0 false false Mon Dec 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 08:39:41 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 08:43:11 -0800 2008 Change, Yes We Can
