As a civil rights attorney and young state senator from Illinois, Barack Obama was a fervent defender of the poor and underprivileged. With his stirring oration at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, he gained national attention and a seat in the U.S. Senate. Four short years later, Obama made history when he became the first African-American Presidential nominee from a major party. On November 4, 2008, he tore down the racial divide when he won the Presidential election over Republican opponent John McCain. Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America on January 20, 2009 -- 45 years after the famous speech of Martin Luther King, Jr. Obama´s promise for "change we can believe in" offers hope during one of the most tumultuous periods in the nation´s history.
