Obama attended Punahou School from the 5th grade until his graduation in 1979. Obama writes: For my grandparents, my admission into Punahou Academy heralded the start of something grand, an elevation in the family status that they took great pains to let everyone know. There he also met Ray , who introduced him to the African American community.
Upon finishing high school, Obama moved to Los Angeles, where he enrolled at Occidental College, where he describes living a party lifestyle of drug and alcohol use. After two years at Occidental, he transferred to Columbia College at Columbia University, in Manhattan, New York City, where he majored in political science. Upon graduation, he worked for a year in business. He then moved to Chicago, working for a non-profit doing community organizing in the Altgeld Gardens housing project on the citys South Side. Obama recounts the difficulty of the experience, as his program faced resistance from entrenched community leaders and apathy on the part of the established bureaucracy. It was during his time spent here that Obama first visited Chicagos Trinity United Church of Christ.
Before attending Harvard Law School, Obama decided to visit relatives in Kenya. He uses part of his experience there as the setting for the books final, emotional scene.
As well as relating the story of Obamas life, the book includes a good deal of reflection on his own personal experiences with race and race relations in the United States.
