Dreams from My Father

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance is a memoir by United States President Barack Obama. It was first published in July 1995 as he was preparing to launch his political career,^[1] five years after being elected the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review in 1990.^[2]
Obama's March 2004 U.S. Senate Democratic primary victory in Illinois led to the book’s re-publication in August 2004, two weeks after his July keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention (DNC).^[3] The 2004 edition included a new preface by Obama and his DNC keynote address.^[3]
