Dr. Carr lecture

The word that I remember the most about Dr. Carr's lecture was the word "Obamamania." he talked about the hype that surround Barack Obama, but what people tend to forget are the people who came before Obama. Dr. Carr talked about the many African Americans who helped pave the way for Obama to be the 44th president, and the first African American one. Dr. Carr played a jazz record of an African American who was trying to run for president many years ago. Of the names that he mentioned, the only names that I recognized were Shirley Chisholm and Jesse Jackson. While talking about Obama he was also teaching how to answer research questions.
