Having been inspired by reading the President-Elect's biography to her daughter, Letrice Titus personally contacted Obama's publishers for copies of the book for Syracuse students.
Some Syracuse students have something new to read in the upcoming school year.
"This is really an inspiring story about a mother who [has] read about Obama to her daughter, and then trying to take that experience through the Syracuse City School District," says former City Councilman Mike Atkins.
Atkins joined Letrice Titus and Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney at Bellvue and Lincoln middle schools Monday morning.
"It's relevant to their lives...it's not often that you can find a president now that has similar issues..." says Letrice Titus, who personally contacted the publishers of President-Elect Barack Obama's biography for distribution to the Syracuse School District.
The group distributed President-Elect Barack Obama's biography, Yes We Can, a donation Titus obtained through the book's publisher.
Each school received 50 books that will be available to and rotated among its students.

Since he didn’t write the book that he claimed to write, she is distributing a book that is a lie from the get-go! Nice work!
My daughter teaches 6th grade in an inner city school in Ct. and the Principle has let it be known that she EXPECTS all teachers to read from The ONES book in the Classroom in January
Cult of personality is part of the left’s fixation with celebrity. Thus we have Che Guevara t-shirts, Mao idolization and now Obama worship.
