I found this article about how some people from the black community think that Obama's presidency could be a great risk to the Civil Rights Movement. They say that electing Obama as president could mean to some black people that the civil rights movement has been won. By just having a black president does not mean the civil rights movement has been won for all people. There is still injustice and electing Obama as president is just one of the numerous steps to truly winning the civil rights movement. They have to keep working hard to win this battle for civil rights. James Baldwin told his nephew to never give and to not believe what white people or anybody said. Bessie and Sadie foretold of a black president, true they said it would be a woman but they were close. Black people like Obama help to win the civil rights movement because they have succeeded beyond what some white people thought they could do.
