Description:
This book presents conversations with the students from the
Mecca, Howard University, many of which served as volunteers
in Obama’s campaign, others serving in a host of
organizations dedicated to his electoral victory, and still
others that marched to the White House in celebration of his
victory on election night, and many that braved the cold to

history came to Howard University and how the students of
that great factory of academic excellence participated in
and witnessed history: the election of the first African
American President.
