Change? (Final Exam(

See: Obama holding an American flag with help from hands of different races/nationalities. Obama’s face is turned to the side with a sad/struggling expression. 

Think: The flag is thrown over his shoulder, like he is trying to pick up and fix the mistakes of previous people. It’s an important step in American history to elect an African-American President. It proves that America’s a country that is accepting of all, and shows progression. I think this relates to the “Negro in America vs. Negro in his Native Land”, because this shows that an African-American living in America can achieve anything a white American can. I think his face looks the way it does because he knows, along with the rest of America, that he has a long, hard job ahead of him.

Wonder:  If the future of America will really ‘Change’, and if Obama will accept help from other “hands”.
