The History Makers

In the interview of President Obama he talked about the transformation of having to fight the stigma of being just an African American man that only talked about getting into politics, he had to act instead of just saying that he wanted to do it. So he changed the barrier that faces so many African American men today, which is “All they are good for is selling drugs and running out on their children”. He explained that he also changed the barrier of African American men not taking their education serious enough”. Although he admits that he was falling into that stigma for a while, until he realized that he would not become what he wanted to do if he didn’t take his education more seriously.
