Great Book: "Dreams from My Father" by Barack Obama. Insight into the problems of Black people in Chicago...

Autobiography... He was born and raised in Hawaii then spent three years living in Indonesia with his stepfather. Went to college in LA and NYC and then became a "Community Organizer" in Chicago. It's difficult for me to grasp that such a career exists... Yet, he did that and it paid him enough to buy Rent and food, a car etc etc etc...

Amazing... His main concern was how to get Black people jobs in a rust belt city. A generation before, they worked in factories and steel mills but by the time Obama got there all those jobs had gone to China. He did not succeed.

I admire his efforts to try and solve a problem that seems impossible to solve. To this day, Chicago has terrible troubles in the Black neighborhoods. Murder, gang violence etc etc etc
