Dreams from my father final summary

Johnnie asks the question of "Why haven't you gone to Kenya yet?" Barack knew he was afraid to find out where he came from. He flew to to Washington to see his brother Roy, and they discussed family, death, and government. Obama learned about his loving family he never knew he had when he visited Africa. He viewed how black Africans functioned in a family style environment. Watching his unknown family, he was taught about where he came from; his heritage. All in all, taking the trip to Africa was in his kismet; it made him who he was.
The trip to Africa changed the ways that Obama saw life, and his family. It also helped to change his persepective on his own family relationships with people such as his brothers and sisters, and his deceased father. He learned to forgive himself, and through this, learned to move on from the past. Obama's relationship with his family helped him fulfill his questions that began in the latter part of his life. This entire book was about his life, and how he came to terms about being a black man in a white society; to overcome.
