Obama: First African American President takes a comprehensive look at the entire election process from the primaries to the general election.Shehu Bankole-Hameed is an immigrant born in Nigeria.

Bankole-Hameed also discusses the contributions of Oprah Winfrey, as well as other African Americans whose dedication to change contributed to the largest number of total votes ever cast for a United States president.Just as in the past, our country will continue to experience insurmountable hurdles and hard-won victories. Obama: First African American President highlights a moment in history that has provided inspiration to many and a confirmation that America is and always will be a beacon of hope.
