加一段Obama背景拓展阅读(除了演讲外).
Ten-year-old Barack Obama was one of only three black students at his school in Hawaii , U.S.A. He felt very different from most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him whether his father ate people.
“ I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan (肯尼亚) prince . But I kept asking myself who I am” , said Obama.
However, 37 years later, the boy made history . Obama became the first black president in American history .
Obama was born in 1961 , to an African father and a white American woman from a small town in the U.S. He grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii. This unusual background made him wonder who he was. He once turned to alcohol ( 酒精) to help forget this question. With the help from his friends, Obama finally turned his life around at college. His hard work made him a star at Harvard. Later, he became the third black senator ( 参议员) in American history .
During his race to the highest post in the U.S., Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of American , rather than a white American or a black America .
“Obama’s success has made Martin Luther King’s dream come true . That is : A man should not be judged by the color of this skin , but by the content of his character, ” wrote ABC news.
