You're welcome, Iowan.

Beckwith's Historical The Obama File is a fantastic compilation of information.

Beckwith is the only person on Planet Earth who cared enough to spend time, effort and money to do the research so the rest of us can read it for ourselves.

Here's the link:

Thanks for the link.

What an amazing website!

Under “Black Power” section at http://www.theobamafile.com/I found this interesting quote by Obama about Malcolm X.

(2006) In October, Obama publishes “The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream,” which details his views of politics and his vision for the future of the U.S. government and its people.

“Malcolm X’s autobiography seemed to offer something different,” Obama wrote. “His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will.”

He added: “Malcolm’s discovery toward the end of his life, that some whites might live beside him as brothers in Islam, seemed to offer some hope of eventual reconciliation.”

The line I am referring to is the one where Obama talks about Malcolm X’s acts of self-creation..isn’t this what Obama is doing...self-creating a new person from who he really is,
