Item Description

Senator Barack Obama penetrated the national political scene with a flurry when, as keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, he gave a resounding speech on the power of the United States of America. He said, "We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, all of us defending the United States of America."   Senator Obama's father was from Kenya and his mother grew up in Kansas.  His mother and grandparents raised Obama mostly in Hawaii. He graduated from Columbia University with a degree in political science and went on to Harvard Law school, where he became the first African American editor of the Harvard Law Review. In Chicago, he was a community organizer, civil rights attorney and a popular lecturer on constitutional law at the University of Chicago. He served as a state senator before being elected to the US Senate in 2005. He has authored three books.   The Barack Obama mask portrays his campaign's logo, and his signature.
