Liberia: Letter to Us President Barack Obama

opinion

Dear Barack,

As I write these lines, in few hours from now on January 20, 2017, you will be turning over power to your successor and will retire to private life. Your rise to President of the United States is a motivation not only to the black struggling political class in America's history, but all those who dare to dream. Yours has shown that every child living in the darkest spot of the earth can dream of owning the stars and shredding the skies of success and live forever as long as his dream lives. Yours is an accomplishment that shows that dreams can build castles with the strength of character and the power of belief. Born to a black Kenyan Father and a white Mother, your birth shows that destiny travels beyond oceans and failure is never an obstacle to what we can achieve.
