Innovator: Real People Doing Big Things

Barack Obama is the current President-elect of the United States of America. Born to a father from Kenya and a mother from Wichita, Kansas, Barack Obama fought adversity to go from a single parent household struggling to survive on food stamps, to the president of The Harvard Law Review. He has broken down doors by becoming the first African-American to ever serve as President of the United States of America, as of January 20, 2009. He has become a beacon of hope for those around the world that happen to dream beyond their means, and he has shown our society that a community organizer with monumental ideas can become the leader of the greatest nation in the world.
