Quote: "A black president would influence generations of young children to embrace a new vision of American citizenship."

Response: I think that this shows how his presidency was so consequential and important to our society and generation. He represents a change in how our country's vision and citizens are changing. He is the first black president which is very influential and will be remembered by the generations of children and adults. ]]> 2016-05-15 22:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/1020261/6gectv8g3jae/wish/110938869 1020261 https://padlet.com/1020261/6gectv8g3jae/wish/110939902
Quote: "I’m going to shine a spotlight on this issue, because while the people in our prisons have made some mistakes — and sometimes big mistakes — they are also Americans, and we have to make sure that as they do their time and pay back their debt to society that we are increasing the possibility that they can turn their lives around."

Response: This shows that instead of just locking criminals up in prison we should help them turn away from the path that they were heading in. Obama is trying to help the people in our prisons because they have made a mistake and he is helping this fix that. ]]> 2016-05-15 23:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/1020261/6gectv8g3jae/wish/110939902 1020261 https://padlet.com/1020261/6gectv8g3jae/wish/110940750
Quote: "Throughout his tour, Obama is feted as a native son, even though he has elected not to visit Kenya, his father’s homeland.

Response: This shows that the people of Africa respect him and believe he is a symbol for their country. I think that they believe he is a symbol for hope because he is the first black president and he shows that anyone can become anything regardless of your skin color.]]> 2016-05-15 23:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/1020261/6gectv8g3jae/wish/110940750 1020261 https://padlet.com/1020261/6gectv8g3jae/wish/110941709
Quote: "Barack Obama’s presidency will always be tethered to the history of race in America.
