Bi-racial president

Barack Obama is officially the new president of the United States!!!

I immediately called a relative in Cameroon to measure the impact of the news outside western countries. Everyone over there is celebrating the election of a black man at the head of the world's most powerful country.

You're probably asking yourself what the elections have to do with hair. We wanted to give our little touch to the news.

During the US campaign, many questions aroused about Obama's identity. Is he black? Is he white? We couldn't help but wonder what 'biracial' meant. We found a definition with a woman's touch.

With her poem, Zora Howard reminds those who questionned the symbolic of this election what the African-american people had to go through.
