Prologue: Convergence -- What cool can do -- Love and baseball -- At the threshold -- Leading men -- Figures of speech -- Brothers from other planets -- Fired up -- The tattered veil -- The new Black, the new America.
Asim, author of the acclaimed "The N Word," provides the context needed to understand what the Obama presidency means to Americans of all backgrounds, showing how African American performers, athletes, rhetoricians, and leaders laid the groundwork for Obama and how Obama turned the old civil-rights model of African American leadership on its head.
