Barack Obama praised his mother, Ann Dunham, as he recounts how she shaped him into the man he is, IgbereTV reports.
The 44th President of the United States, while promoting his new book ‘A Promised Land’, shared a throwback photo he took with his mother and narrated how she shaped his and his sister’s life.
He wrote on his Facebook page:
“As I recount in my book, A Promised Land, my mother, Ann Dunham, was strong, smart, and marched to her own beat. For her, the world offered endless opportunities for moral instruction. My sister Maya and I got early lessons about the struggle for civil rights, the impact of poverty on people around the world, and the importance of respecting other cultures and considering other points of view. My mother believed that power came not from putting people down but rather through lifting them up. And she was always certain that in the face of injustice and humanity’s more primal impulses, logic and progress would always prevail. “The world is complicated, Bar,” she used to say. “That’s why it’s interesting.” #APromisedLand”
