Description

This graphic design highlights a few common themes that are very popular today. These go great over a doorway, or can be installed vertically as well. You can also place them separately as needed. Consider a bold color to add a touch of fun color to your personal space.

The sizes given are for the trio of blocks, each block will be a square that is the same as the height figure (meaning the 18 x 5 size will have 5" square blocks). Clear as mud? (via Trading Phrases - Hope)

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

5 people recommended this item

Description

Obama argues with himself on almost every page of this lively autobiographical conversation. He gets you to agree with him, and then he brings in a counternarrative that seems just as convincing. Son of a white American mother and of a black Kenyan father whom he never knew, Obama grew up mainly in Hawaii. After college, he worked for three years as a community organizer on Chicago's South Side. Then, finally, he went to Kenya, to find the world of his dead father, his "authentic" self. Will the truth set you free, Obama asks? Or will it disappoint? Both, it seems. His search for himself as a black American is rooted in the particulars of his daily life; it also reads like a wry commentary about all of us. He dismisses stereotypes of the "tragic mulatto" and then shows how much we are all caught between messy contradictions and disparate communities. He discovers that Kenya has 400 different tribes, each of them with stereotypes of the others. Obama is candid about racism and poverty and corruption, in Chicago and in Kenya. Yet he does find community and authenticity, not in any romantic cliche{‚}, but with "honest, decent men and women who have attainable ambitions and the determination to see them through." (via Amazon - Obama)

So we have a new president that is inspiring the nation and struggling to pull us out of the worst recession most of us can remember. We should take some time read his book, understand his character, and get behind our country and our president.
