“The First Black President”

One hundred and forty-five (145) years after the end of the Civil War, the United States elected its first black President. In the primary, Barack Obama was running against a white woman, Hillary Rodham Clinton. In the election, his opponent was an aging white war veteran, John McCain. Students will respond to the following:

  • Agree or disagree with the following statement and justify your answer: “The election of President Obama was not a victory for the civil rights movement but a sign of the increased diversity of the American population, which is generally more willing to accept people of color.”
  • Defend or argue against former President Jimmy Carter’s statement: “Many politicians disagree with President Obama just because he is black.”
  • Rank the following ethnic/demographic groups from one to five (1-5) in terms of their likelihood to be elected President of the United States in the next twenty (20) years and give your reasons: a) a woman b) an Asian-American, c) an Arab-American, d) an Indian-American, e) a Native American Indian.
