his bravery

The stalemate between father and son, the struggle between clan and clan; under the long river of time, under perseverance and bravery. The father walked to the brink of his son's rebellion, and Obama took the seat of President of the United States. At that moment, the father brought the son's touch, and the hope that Obama brought to all blacks at that moment... The son's bravery betrayed everything. Abandoning his father's love and losing his younger brother, when everyone doesn't understand him and doesn't support him, his father's career doesn't allow him to do what he wants and does. All those black men who are not brave want him to be at peace and where he is; even if he is discriminated against by whites and treated unfairly; even if he lives at the bottom of America; even if he is jailed and abused for every rebellion; even when he rebels back then It didn't work, even if... everyone didn't understand him then. He still insists on moving forward, for the sake of autonomy and rights, in order to allow all blacks to be treated the same as whites, they can spend money to go to restaurants... Yes, it is so simple to maintain and fight for the rights that they should have, no one is born to live No one at the bottom of the society should have no human rights, no one!
The admiration and emotion at that moment, the cheers and excitement at that moment. Obama's coming to power, followed by the continuous efforts and struggles of countless black people, is courage and persistence...
